A Chair and three speakers with over 132 years of combined sobriety shaing on the topic:
Chair: Pat F - Current Delegate from Pennsylvania
Kenneth S of New York - Sober 60 years since 9/7/1954. Preferred cheap Port Wine at 37 cents a pint - drank for 8 years. Met Liz B who is still alive at the time of this posting, when she was 2 years sober and was sponsored by her. He still loves sky diving at his age. Cool.
Jo-Anne L of Manitoba Canada - Sober 30 years since 7/20/1984 - not the first time she came into AA - the first opportunity could have been in the middle 60s in a mental hospital at age 16 and then in 1979. Past Delegate and past Turstee at large who helped start AA in Mongolia.
Eric S of Mississauga, Ontario - Sober 42 years since 7/30/1972 - drank for 20 years and was not a discerning drinker - arrived through the intervention of a doctor
Held on the first day of the Convention starting at 1:30 pm in room B206 of the World Congress Center.
