James Waitus Garrison Remembered

Longtime Stuttering Foundation Board member, James Waitus Garrison, passed away at home in Memphis on Sept. 29, 2008, the morning of his 91st birthday.

Jimmie was SFA Founder Malcolm Fraser’s most trusted friend and colleague and had been on the Foundation Board since its inception in 1947.

“He was razor sharp and always asked the tough questions,” noted Foundation President Jane Fraser.

“He kept me on my toes and made sure we were on track at all times, fulfilling my father’s hopes of making a real difference for those who stutter.”
