Hi Mrs D and Chemar ~ No, no one else in the family had Tourette's other than my Dad. So obviously then, this was caused by the Scarlet Fever? wow, finally a definite answer!

I was proud of my Dad ~ he taught himself algebra, geometry, trig, and above all, calculus!!! Good grief, I barely made it thru Algebra in school! lol He also made the first TV in our town when he was a teenager - he broadcast from one side of town to the other - this was before TV was even available! It would have been about 1932, when he was 17yrs old. He was also a TV repairman. Enuf bragging about Dad. LOL

Thank you so much for the information. I really appreciate it! God bless you both! Hugs, Lee
