This episode is for you.

I had a very busy weekend. I'd like to present to you this open talk by

Sam V which I enjoyed very much. He describes himself as a guy who thinks too much.

I hope you connect with it.

Hi, my name is Sam.

I have been a grateful member of Almond on since November 7th of 1994.

And I'd like to thank the committee for having me out here today for Pauline, being great host had a really great time got here yesterday

went to Montoya's with her husband Mike and Jim had a really good dinner

Really enjoyed the speakers I've heard last night and today.

You know, and I'm the Al-Anon speaker. I really, you know, it's great being the Al-Anon speaker because you get to hear

Joe B talk about, you know, going to jail and coming back from jail and going to

jail and more Julie being married four times before 30 and you're just going to

hear about a guy that just kind of thinks too much.

Up here and, and I do also want to just take a moment to thank the committee, the whole committee for working on this convention. I know that many people put a lot of work into this convention months before people even thought about coming here and I just want people to you know just the committee to know that I really appreciate all the work that happens and And also the tapers.

You know, I'm someone who's benefited

a whole lot from the experience,

strengthen hope from people that I would never

have come into contact with had it not been for people that

tape that go to conventions and do that work.
