AA'S General Service Conference

MY ATTENDANCE at the AA International Convention in Miami Beach last July gave me an unusual opportunity to see the living growth of AA and also to see a remarkable man. What a privilege it was to hear a major address on "Unity and Continuity," the night of July 4, by Bernard B. Smith. In August, he died of a heart attack and was buried exactly one month after his talk at the Convention. When I heard of our loss, I was moved to tears.
