Summary

Jack B got sober in July of 1953 and he is speaking at an event called the Brownwood Retreat. I have no idea when it took place but, the majority of the recordings I have of Jack are from the mid 70's through the mid 80's, so Im guessing this is from some time in there. He was a fairly popular circuit speaker back then.
