On January 19th I had the good fortune of hearing Bob Mandell speak openly and honestly about his very personal experience with a stroke twenty years ago that left him with major disabilities which he has been able to conquer but not without hard work and positive attitude and a tenacious willpower. He kept our class mesmerized as he wove his story with simple to understand language and even a little humor. Bob had no problem answering questions in the comfortable atmosphere he created. He was somehow able to lift the stigma of stroke curtain during these two hours. For me it was refreshing. Time well spent. This man not only teaches with words but by example.
