Summary

You AA history buffs will like this one, it is Dr Bob S one of the founders of AA speaking in 1949, he was 14 years sober at the time of this speak that took place somewhere in Ohio at an unknown event. He is telling the story of what happened in the early days of AA's formation. This recording was awful but cleaned up remarkably well, keep in mind however, it was recorded 72 years ago. This ends a bit abruptly.
