IN MEMORY OF Dr. SAM
By B. W.
On Thursday October 31st 1963 Dr. Sam
Shoemaker, The great Episcopal clergyman
and first friend of A. A. Passed from our sight
and hearing. He was one of those few without whose
ministration A. A. could never have been born in the
first place nor prospered since
From his teaching Dr Bob and I absorbed most of the
principles that were later embodied in the Twelve Steps of
A. A. Our ideas of self –examination, acknowledgement
of character defect s, restitution for harms done, and
working with others came straight from Sam. Therefore
he gave to us the concrete knowledge of what we could
do about our illness; he passed to us spiritual keys by
which so many of us have since been liberated
We who in A. A. early time were privileged to fall under
the spell of his inspiration can never be the same again.
We shall bless Sam’s memory forever
