Hi Walter, I smiled a number of times when reading your paper. Until I just let my stutter 'hang out' it often tripped me up. It has only been since I decided to avoid avoidance and just talk, irrespective of whether I stuttered or not, that I began to communicate more easily. As the words we use are only about 7% of communication I found it very easy to improve my communication. Without my stuttering for 60+ years, I may not have begun to take the current paths I walk. I am finding my new life so full of fun and a kind of vibrant energy that changing the words of the refrain in an Abba song around I sing, 'Thank you for my stutter for giving it to me'. (I am listening to a rendition of it on YouTube as I type this comment.) Keith
