Summary

I was looking for an Al-Anon meeting and came across this meeting from December of 1978, it is an AA speaker and then an Al-Anon speaker recorded somewhere in Portland Oregon. It opens with the AA speaker Elle telling her story, then we have Donna telling her Al-Anon story, it turns out she is a triple hitter being an Al-Anon, AA and NA member!
