Ayant eu du bégaiement presque toute sa vie, suivant son entrée à l’école et ayant été puni à l’époque pour être un gaucher, il a dû travailler d’arrache-pied pour combattre le bégaiement. Il y a plus de 60 ans, il a acheté un disque dans un magasin de choses usagées. Ce disque était l’original du speech du roi d’Angleterre. Il savait à l’époque qu’il avait en sa possession un disque de valeur.
Mr. Baird a toutefois des problèmes de l’ouïe et l’histoire ne dit pas s’il sera à l’écoute des Oscars ce soir mais je suis sûr que son choix de vote s’arrêtera sur cet incroyable film… tout comme moi d’ailleurs.

-------------------------------------
It is Oscar day today and if you have seen the movie in nomination for 12 Oscars, “The King’s Speech”, you will agree with me that Colin Firth’s performance is unbelievable. It is even more unbelievable to realize that the real king fought stuttering with a harsh journey. A San Jose resident, Dae Baird, 92, also believe it firmly.
He began stuttering after entering elementary school. Being a left-hand student, he was forced to use his right hand instead and thus, the stuttering started. He overcame stuttering after college. Sixty years ago, he bought an old record in a junk shop. This record was the original king’s speech. He knew at the time that he had a treasure in his possession.
Mr. Baird has some hearing loss and nothing is said that he will watch the Oscars tonight but I am sure that his choice will be on the featured film.. as well as I will also.
