My name is Andrew W an alcoholic.

I love the bright lights. That's the first time I've spoken with the lights on.

That's a good feeling. I am from Missoula, Montana. I am the service speaker. I'm a replacement as well, so I got two strikes against me, so I'm trying to lower your expectations.

The original speaker was from New York, Phyllis H. Phyllis is a very

elegant woman from New York. She's very involved at G.S. he works at G.SO. She couldn't be here because she's actually had a trip that

got scheduled to the Ukraine to help him out, share some of GSO's experience with

Ukraine. It's pretty amazing. And instead you got a nerd from Montana.

So one of the things I have to do through this talk is not only tell you a little bit about what I was like, what happened and what I'm like now,

but also try to tell you about why am I the service speaker?

Why is a guy from Montana involved in service?

And how does that work?

What is the heck is a West Central Regional trustee?

I do want to thank though before a lot of people

before I get going and forget to thank anybody.

One of the things I want to thank is my Montana friends.
