Summary

I had an email from Megan yesterday asking if I had any recordings of her friend Hal who passed on this week, Hal was one of the men at the retreat that Chuck C led that became the book "A New Pair of Glasses". Hal T got sober in 1973, he is telling his story, (he has a great sense of humor) in 2011 at the Ohio Street West Sunday meeting held in Los Angeles. NSFW If you are in the PNW toward the end of July I just added a Young Peoples Conference (WSCYPAA VII) taking place in Tacoma WA. If you have never been to a Young Peoples event (your age does not matter) the energy and passion of the participants never fails to impress. I spoke to someone involved in it last night and based on how enthusiastic he was this will be no exception.
