- Growing up, I was “Joe Dumberville,” the dumbest kid in school. My dyslexia, attention deficiency, impaired memory retention, and an abusive father combined to present overwhelming obstacles. I grew up with a debilitating inferiority complex. My life… a downward spiral, odds for recovery, unimaginable. I barely survived school. In the early ’50s, there was little understanding of learning disabilities. I joined the Navy during the Vietnam era and discovered an uncanny aptitude for logic. I was amazed! Patterns would miraculously appear. For the first time in my life, I demonstrated a talent, and, at my family’s expense, my work became essential to proving my worth and recovering from the depths of inferiority.
