I forgot he stuttered. Inspiring to say the least. In the 80's some of my teachers would "accidentally" laugh at my stutter. Some, I am convinced, called on me to speak for entertainment. The whole class would laugh, and to this day I just prefer to work alone and be alone. Most humans suck and think it's such a weakness. I learned to hold back a lot of punches to the face. Inner self/core is so solid now.
