Reds hits rewind

It is sometime in the early 1950s in Georgetown, Guyana. Frank Sinatra's voice fills the room and the boys and girls are swaying, but one kid stands apart a little, shy. He has a problem, a terrible stammer that is killing his confidence.

"By the time I went 'May I…' Sinatra's song would get over. I struggled socially in school. I couldn't participate in discussions because I couldn't get my questions or replies out."

He would, though, grow up to be Joseph "Reds" Perreira, a famous radio commentator and sports administrator in the Caribbean. His voice, clear, loud, and with no hint of a stammer, goes on to boom through radios across the world for decades.
