Winston supports the journalists' fight for freedom of speech against the Chinese government because, as an aphasia patient, Winston understands what it's like not to be able to talk. He believes everyone is allowed and should be able to get the words out, no matter how you do it. Winston's speech disability has made it hard for him to voice his opinion. He wants everyone to have the right and power to talk.

Thanks to Winston's friend, Robert F. Dorr, for locating Dr. Leora Cherney.

Thank you, Bob!

Winston is very thankful to Leora and Jaime for their help and input in guiding Winston through the daily practice. It takes a lot of hard work and patience. Winston takes breaks in between sessions.

Winston in Brooke's lab

Miss Autummus J. McDoggimus, Bob's lab

An open letter to Brooke
Thanks Brooke for taking the nice pictures of Winston and your colleagues. After seeing a picture of your lab (with Winston in it of course), Bob Dorr, Winston's friend, decided to send a picture of Autumn, his labrador retriever, to you, cc'd to a few of his friends. Bob is wondering if his lab is just as nice as your lab.

After the class, Winston and Brooke invited three graduate students who specialize in aphasia to come to dinner with them. They went to Casa Nueva, an organic worker-owned restaurant that serves all local food and contracts with many local small businesses for its supplies. Winston was impressed by the sustainability focus of the place, and took photos of the list of small local organic businesses. One of the students, Maria, is from Russia (Moscow). Another, Sabine, is from Germany (Leipzig). The third, Kelsey, is from Las Vegas. Winston has a waiter take pictures of them together there.
