Summary

Mark H is from from Dallas Texas, he is leading a big book study covering steps 5-9, this was recorded in San Diego in 1994 at an unknown event. Mark was a very prolific circuit speaker for many years. This also feels like he is cut off mid sentence at the end, from what I understand this is all there was recorded, by the time we get there he has covered the vast majority of the subject.

0:37.4	I want to stress this again because it's important.
0:43.2	Chapter 6 into action took me about five years to understand the end to action, the end
0:48.8	to action.
0:51.3	And there are seven steps in these pages, about 17 pages.
0:59.8	But the big book spent 53 pages on just looking at the first half of the first step.

1:16.6	step.
1:18.6	And some of you that perhaps knew a little bit to this experience, I probably had the

1:29.3	And your responsibility when you work with new people is to do what I've done here which
