LONERS

NOT long ago a woman visited General Service Headquarters as the result of a State Department referral. It turned out that she works with the Ministry of Social Welfare in Argentina and is intensely interested in AA as a possible solution to the problem of alcoholism in her country. Had she come a few days earlier we might have had no one to whom to refer her in Buenos Aires, as our lone member there is frequently out-of-town; but as it happened, on the desk as we talked was a letter from a Spanish-speaking AA newly arrived in Buenos Aires via Texas where he had found sobriety.
