This one is a case for nature/nurture no doubt, and I think it proves nurture.Jaime Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040093582812752783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7105567424161574259.post-79315466501874117062011-03-23T08:57:17.448-05:002011-03-23T08:57:17.448-05:00I read this a few years ago.
