Who Was That Masked Man?
Anonymity and other strange practices made for zest and humor in early media reporting on AA--but the message got across
NO, IT WASN'T the Lone Ranger. In fact, when this picture was taken, the subject was less a loner than he'd been in a long while. The man in the mask is an AA member of 1938, and his mask is one (rather awkward) solution to the problem of how to tell our stories to the public without breaking anonymity.
