Russ was a lovable kid with a variety of communication challenges---a speech impediment (语言障碍), dyslexia (诵读困难), and auditory problems. __41__ today he is walking confidently, standing tall to make an acceptance __42__ for having been chosen one of the “Outstanding Young Citizens” in Ocean County, New Jersey __43__ his remarkable volunteer service in the town of Toms River.
