IN the year 1945 a woman read an article about Alcoholics Anonymous. . .she wrote to the General Service Headquarters address in New York. . .a telegram from there went to the four-months-old AA group in Nacogdoches (the only one anywhere in East Texas at that time). . . Nacogdoches phoned their only Palestine member, who made his first Twelfth Step call on Pat, desperately sick in the hospital there.
