If he had came to FDU for a presentation I would have been in attendance. Individuals who deal with conditions like this and have the mental capacity that Peek has is nothing short of amazing. They can truly be considered miracles of biology. I think when analyzing savant type individuals like this that we must truly be amazed by the biological factors that contribute to the illness as well as the genius. Truly amazing.
