I remember being at an SA retreat in Oregon in 1995, when an old-timer named Harry gave Roy a hug during a speaker meeting, forgiving him for something. I was quite moved.

A few years later, I was invited on a Twelve Step call by Gary W. with Roy in Laguna Niguel. We all did a Third Step prayer with the guy. I don’t think he “jelled,” but it was powerful!

Another time after an Intergroup meeting in West Los Angeles, Roy gave me a copy of one of his books. I still owe him $10.00. I guess I’ll have to throw a little more into the hat when it comes around.

I miss Roy. He helped me a lot.
