We'd like to take this opportunity to welcome one of my very good friends and someone from

whom I have learned a great deal during these last few years. Would you all welcome

Paul? But every ladies and gentlemen, my name is Helen. Great for alcoholic. And as some

of you may know, I try to practice an attitude or gratitude because I have a lot to be grateful

for. I pray every morning that wonderful prayer from the 24-hour book. I pray that I may

be grateful for the things I have received and do not deserve. I pray that this gratitude

will make me truly humbled. And tonight I have another good example of why I'm grateful

or wonderful dividends just program of giving me. Close to be honest with you back in my

boozing days, I normally wouldn't have associated with a man who'd walked on the moon. I just

didn't travel in those circles, but by the grace of God and AA, I've been a friend of

us for a number of years. And we helped him celebrate, and I think continue. The East Coast

Celebrity of his fifth anniversary is five years of continuous sorbati and AA, so we will

continue that tonight and it's a pleasure to introduce a man who needs an introduction.

Buzz, come up.
