The throat thing went on for the better part of two decades, then miraculously I or around 1984 it went away. He said he had no idea what happened.I remember that when I was in college, he came to speak in chapel. Everyone was so excited. You would think a movie star was coming (and this was long BEFORE Robert Sumner and his revelations) I don't know if he had a cold that day or not, but his constant clearing of his throat drove me crazy. I only heard him that one time.
