Talk by Marty Mann, 1960 AA Convention

This month we look back at the 1960 25^th Anniversary Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous held here in Long Beach, CA.

This is a talk given by Mrs. Marty Mann on that occasion.

She tells her story of being introduced to the Big Book through Dr. Harry Tiebout who was treating her at Blythewood Sanitarium.

Dr. Tiebout was given one of the 400 pre-publication manuscripts of the Big Book that Bill W. sent out for input from clergy, doctors, and other professionals.

A fun little note. In 1960 the convention started on Friday, July 1^st. Here we are – 62 years later – and it’s Friday, July 1^st!
