Dan C speaking on Founders Day in June 1995 on the history of the three legacies in Oakland CA. He got sober in Oct of 1947. The quality of this recording is very good but it does sound slightly hollow.

Norm A from Monrovia CA sober 28 years

Yesterday our speaker was Ann P and she mentioned one of the folks that really helped her in her sobriety was a gent named Norm A from Monrovia CA.

So I thought why not feature him today, Norm got sober at the beginning of 1954 and at the time of this speak on Unity Day in San Jose, CA in the summer of 1982 he had been sober for 28 years, this was his last talk.

 

Multiple Speakers: Sue A then John K

Sue A of South Bend speaking at the 3rd Chicago Intergroup convention in March of 1963. She is followed By John K for the balance of the meeting, this is a pretty excellent recording for 1963, it does end a little abruptly.

Bill Y Sober since 1950 (NSFW)

Bill Y telling his story in San Rafael CA at an unknown event, he has been sober since 1950. (NSFW)

 

Ann C sober since 1948

Ann C got sober in 1948 and is speaking with 28 years sobriety at this event in Erie PA in 2005

Dr Bob co-founder of AA speaking about his first 14 years.

Since we had Bill W speaking yesterday it seems appropriate to have Dr Bob the other founder of AA speak today. He is telling his story about his first 14 years in AA, this was recorded in 1949. The end if this speak (about 6 min) is a bit of Dr Bobs last talk in 1950.

There are no where near as many recordings of Dr Bob as there are of Bill W and the ones that are around are generally fairly bad, this one had a nasty hum, but it cleaned up really well and is one of the best I have heard of Dr Bob.
