Dr Bob and Bill W. Speak by Michael Fitzpatrick

Dr Bob and Bill W. Speak by Michael Fitzpatrick

Learn about the luminaries behind one of the greatest social movements of our time through the neverbeforepublished recordings, letters, and stories found in this intimate multimedia retrospective.
This unique book and audio CD draw on letters, journal entries, and speeches from Alcoholics Anonymous (A) conferences, and recorded conversations to tell the personal stories of A cofounders Dr. Bob and Bill W. The book and CD reveal the cofounders unique contributions to the creation and development of A, the Big Book, and the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. The book explores their lives, starting with their early drinking days, while the audio recordings begin with their first speeches in the 1940s and continue through Bill W. s last talk given at the Miami International Convention in 1970, just months before he died.
A historian and archivist Michael Fitzpatrick used his research conducted at Stepping Stones (the former home of Bill W.) and Dr. Bob s home, excerpts from the A Grapevine, and his own private collection to offer this multimedia retrospective.

Fitzpatrick, Michael: - Saving Peg Leg is Michael's first book he has published. Inspired by true events, Michael used many details provided by Jane, the main character, who is a neighbor and friend, in an interview in writing this story. Michael recently received a Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University. There he learned and participated in research based learning. Research also contributed to the story's plot. He plans to continue writing other stories in the future. Michael is a first-grade teacher and loves teaching all subjects, especially writing, to his students. When his class writes and shares each day, it makes it the most rewarding part of the school day. Michael Also has written over shirty poems about a leprechaun who visits his classroom every year. Michael grew up in a suburb of Boston, MA, where he still resides. In his spare time, Michael enjoys candlepin bowling, swimming, and baseball.
