Searcy W an early AA member sober in May of 1946

It is difficult to find recordings of very early members of AA, that are good enough to actually use, we got lucky with this one of Searcy W, sober in May 1946. He is speaking in Minneapolis in June of 2000, he is a funny guy and I really enjoyed the bits of AA history he mentions during his speak.

Ebby: The man Bill W referred to as his sponsor

Ebby T was an old drinking friend of Bill W and later his sponsor in AA. He is credited with introducing Bill to the initial principles that AA would soon develop, such as one alcoholic talking to another.

If you would like to learn more about Ebby there is a very good book about him "Ebby: The Man Who Sponsored Bill W."

He sparked the creation of AA but was unable to maintain long term sobriety. Bill always called Ebby his "sponsor," and even though he had returned to drinking, Bill looked after his friend's welfare for the rest of his life. Ebby struggled on and off with sobriety over the years, and ultimately died sober in 1966.

This is the best quality recording I have found of Ebby and I have cleaned it up as much as I can. He is speaking in 1958 in Memphis TN.
