A Remembrance
Group News
We now have an ongoing San Diego intergroup and an SA meeting every night of the week. San Diego is so large that a person may need to drive a little.

I am really pleased to be a member of SA and I’m now sober nine months. Miracles do happen. Thank God for SA…. We are growing here in Australia. The city meeting last week was up to ten and the outer city meeting has a strong regular four to five. It really is amazing.

…Our Penn Hills Wednesday night group has varied between nine and twelve attenders the last couple of months. Thanks for being there.
Notes From the Central Office
To prevent the Central Office from being placed in a position of endorsement, the CO will no longer mail flyers or do select mailings for regional retreats, marathons, conventions, and the like. The CO will continue to list such activities (SA only) in the Calendar section of Essay.
Americans Visit Germany
Two American SAs flew to Germany to attend the German SA Conference this June. We arrived four hours late and missed our German host at the airport. After two obsessive and fearful hours, our powerlessness was rewarded by a phone connection with Kornelius, an SA, who directed us to the Thursday meeting in Mainz.
A Remembrance
Since our last issue of Essay, we learned that Mark M. of West New York, NJ died of complications from AIDS. I met Mark a couple of times, and he would phone me from time to time over the years, so I followed his progress in the program.
