Am I Still Me? - Testimonials
"I am a [former] pastor who suffered a stroke two years ago who could still sing perfectly, but I was unable to remember my own name or to find words. After reading your poem “A Few Grains of Sand” many, many times, I got the courage to join the local Toastmaster’s Group and just did a 30 second speech about wanting to learn to speak to groups again. [It was a very great encouragement!]"
Rev. Quam, Formerly Lincoln, NE, now Chaska, MN
"Thank you so very much for the copies of your books. I am the coordinator of an Elder Care Program. My role is that of a caregiver specialist for the caregivers of people over 60. I offer education, support, information, and public presentations. Many of my active participants in caregiver support and education groups have loved ones who have suffered a brain injury, have Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or stroke disabilities. Your books will be made available to them through my ElderCare Library."
Donna Washburn, LIFE Office, Lincoln, NE
"This is the all-time best book I have ever read. It needs to be out there everywhere. I cried like a baby because it touched me so profoundly. I have had 3 brain injuries."

Dr. Jim Thompson, Knapp Rehabilitation Center, MN
"It defines the challenges of the stages of recovery."
