Bob Higgins Quotes
Gerald is the eternal optimist who has what could be perceived as a handicap -he can't speak - but he figures out clever ways to communicate ideas so he doesn't let it stop him. He goes through life with rose-colored glasses and doesn't think 'I can't.' I think that's a great character to put out there for kids.
