This strange sound comes from the voice of Mrs. Susie Whitaker as she speaks into her microphone. She uses this device to save her voice as she has nodes on her vocal chords. She gave up teaching for two years due in part to this throat difficulty. This year the trouble became more acute again, so Mrs. Whitaker invested in a speaker system instead of a winter coat. 20
