Overton Frank Turner crossed his bridge into this reality in 1943, and except for being overly sensitive to touch, appeared normal. However when he started school at age 6, 1949, the school claimed he wasn’t learning the way normal children learn, and must have brain damage; the catch-all assumption then. By age 10, and still in the 3ed grade, still hardly reading, his family moved to the Navajo reservation, where he started over in the first grade with the Navajo children.
By the time he moved to Oklahoma in 1957 the school system decided that it was more importune to keep him with his age group, so even though he had never been through grades 4-6 he was put in the seventh grade. This new world of school in-thralled him with learning and even though he was still reading on a third grade level, he graduated high school in 1963.
Daring his high school years his Father, who had a masters degree in philosophy, gave him a letter at his 18th birthday changing him to “seek wisdom,” which he took as a type of calling. After high school, with no other options, and too avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War, in the Army, he went into the US Navy, serving four years. After the Navy, with the GI bill, he found a small collage taking veterans — no questions ask.
Not surprising he was failing all his class and went to one of the psychology professors for help. With his help he was diagnosed with dyslexia, and started reading training from the pathology professors. With in a few moths he was reading on a seventh grade level, but spelling was still a problem. This was solved by getting the other professors to ignore his spelling, since he had been diagnosed as dyslexic. By 1967 he had a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and now has written three books.
