Norm A. - Texas State University, TX 1973

Norm was a blind member of Alcoholics Anonymous. He was one of the first 100 members. He was from Youngstown, Ohio. Right from the start of this talk Norman wants to make sure that we don't forget the three women pioneers of AA; Henrietta Seiberling, Ann Smith, and Lois Wilson. Norman says he was raised in a family of good church people. The family was very strict when it came to alcohol.

Because he was blind, Norman played a significant role in getting the AA Big Book converted to Braille. At the end of this talk Norman says:

"People who pray together, stay together. May I stay with you forever"

Bill WIlson - Ft. Worth, TX 1954

The sober alcoholics of Fort Worth, Texas, performed a special service that deelpy touched Bill's heart. The group "adopted" Ebby Thacher, the many who brought the message to Bill.  Members of the group provided Ebby with a place to live, a job and when he slipped (which he did several times) they were there to help him regain his sobriety.

Bill happily made the trip to Texas to share his viewpoint with the people who had done so much ofr his friend.
