Throwback Thursday AA history post - In honor of Women's History Month, information on Sylvia K., one of the first women sober in AA and author of Big Book story Keys To The Kingdom:
Founders Day June 10, 1935! In honor of Founders Day, here area few photos taken on a pilgrimage to Akron some years ago: Photos: Dr Bob's home; The Williams home, Akron's first meeting place; The Gate Lodge on the Seiberling estate - Bill and Bob first met here; The Mayflower Hotel and 2 interior shots; King School, Akron meeting place after breaking with the Oxford Group (Original building was torn down and rebuilt).
Sylvia's Big Book story is brilliantly crafted---one of the best in the book. I wonder if she might have hired professional help. She had the money to do that had she chosen to.
ReplyDeleteCould be. We know most of the original Akron stories in the 1st Edition were edited by a professional.
