Joe P from Little Rock, AR - Sober 24 years since 3/10/1962
Charlie P of Maysville, AR - Sober 16 years since 10/29/1969
Joe and Charlie were an unlikely couple to come out of Arkansas - a black man from Little Rock and a white man from the Ozarks.
They did their first formal Big Book weekend in Lawton, OK in 1977 traveling there with a Hispanic member and gave there talk to a number of recovering Native Americans.
Nine years later, they had refined it to an art.
It was another passionate member from Pompano Beach, FL - Wesley P - who, by mailing tape sets around the world, made Joe and Charlie the most famous pair of drunks since Bill and Dr. Bob.
