In our second special “Christian Recovery Radio with Dick B.”
show, we will highlight our latest book,
Bill W. and Dr. Bob, the Green Mountain
Men of Vermont: The Roots of Early A.A.’s Original Program. This
special show is presented on the eve of our 10-day trip to Vermont where we
will present A.A. history workshops in Burlington, St. Johnsbury, Northfield,
Manchester, and East Dorset, Vermont. Places where one can find the real
evidence of the Christian upbringings of three key figures in early A.A: (1) A.A.
cofounder Bill Wilson; (2) A.A. cofounder Dr. Bob Smith; and (3) the man that Bill
Wilson called his sponsor, Ebby Thacher.
We will present a brief overview of
the 13 chapters in our new book by highlighting five important topics covered
in the book: (1) The long-overdue return to A.A.’s Vermont roots and the trails
that led us there. (2) What was going on with Bill Wilson, his friend Ebby,
Rowland Hazard, Shep Cornell, and Cebra Graves at East Dorset, Manchester, Burr
and Burton Academy, and other Vermont locations. (3) St. Johnsbury individuals,
organizations, and institutions that directly impacted Dr. Bob’s ideas. (4) How
these happenings relate to A.A.’s “original program.” (5) How the detailed facts
presented in our book can help others today.
