Bill Wilson and Dr Bob Smith meet for the first time May 12 1935 – Akron, Ohio.

Norman Sheppard directed him to Oxford member Henrietta Seiberling, whose group had been trying to help a desperate alcoholic named Dr. Bob Smith. —– en.wikipedia.org ———————————————————— Fair Use Notice This “video” contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright … Video Rating: 0 / 5
