Grandpa’s Trunk

A treasure from the man who introduced the family to AA was about to be opened

At the time of his death in 1967, my grandfather, Ernie C., had been sober since March 15, 1950. He was affectionately known as Pop. He was co-founder of the Camden Group of AA and the Boykin Group in Camden, S.C. In 1955 he was instrumental in the construction of a building that’s still rented for meetings by the Camden Group.
