I thought a long time before deciding to write this book, because I knew that it would require exposing myself. This is why most writers write friction. Nevertheless,I believed that I could write a book that would enlighten the world. After about 65 rejections I was offered a publishing contract and deadline. I sign the contract and worked my tail off to meet the deadline. The book is selling and attracts a lot of attention

I Thought I Would Never Make It Through The 4th Grade
The web site has 2 parts. Part 1. is about where I grew up and part 2 is about my disabilities. I was born june 26, 1936 and grew up in Summertownn,Tennessee [It had 11 inches of snow a few years ago.} where I attended a small rural high school of about 200 students. It is true, I thought that that 4th grade was going to be the death of me. So much so that I was baptized in a cold creek in hopes that God would relieve my suffering. I still remember how cold that water was. After I began to enjoy some sucess in school. I began to become intellectual and admired my speech pathologist and high school teachers and wanted to be like them. I ended up going to college.
