AA History: A brief interview with Henrietta Seiberling

This is not an AA meeting so if you need to hear a meeting just now please choose another Sober Cast Episode. For the AA history buffs, this is a phone interview with Henrietta Seiberling the woman that arranged the first meeting between founders Bill W. and Bob S.

I was unable to find any context but it is a 1971 Interview with her son John Seiberling, she passed away in 1979. This picks up having already started and ends abruptly with the phone being hung up mid sentence (I assume accidently).
