Philadelphia Story on Hospitalization

The Philadelphia group considers itself very fortunate. One of the first drunks contacted by Jim B., when he brought A.A. to Philadelphia five years ago, was a relative of one of our most eminent surgeons: Dr. A. Wiese Hammer of the staff of St. Luke's and Children's Hospital. Dr. Hammer spends two to four hours with the group every Sunday advising and counselling, as well as comforting those members who gather at the round table. He is one of our staunchest bulwarks.
