Sober 44 years, Clarence was the somewhat controversial founder of AA in Cleveland, OH.
He covers what it was like in the early days in great detail.
Very engaging story.
He was less concerned about anonymity than many others in AA.
He became concerned with early AA's association with the Oxford Groups. He rightly saw that it created unnecessary barriers for practicing Catholics to hurdle.
Wonderful talk for the history lovers. It shows the humanity and passion of the early AA members .
