Bill W. saying goodbye to Dr. Bob.
From "Trusting Trusted Servants:" "A few hours later, Bill [W.] said goodbye: 'I went down the steps and then turned to look back. Bob stood in the doorway, tall and upright as ever...This was my partner, the man with whom I never had a hard word. The wonderful, old, broad smile was on his face as he said almost jokingly, 'Remember, Bill, let's not louse this thing up. Let's keep it simple!' I turned away, unable to say a word. That was the last time I ever saw him.' "Dr. Bob died at noon the following Thursday, November 16 [1950]." c. 1984, 'PASS IT ON'...The story of Bill Wilson and how the A.A. message reached the world, page 342 Every time I see this or anything from history, it reminds me to be grateful to our co-founders. Without them and the other 100 men and women, we wouldn't have this program of recovery. It is the basis for all the others. It is a basic foundation that with a few adjustments, can help anyone who is looking for recovery, no matter what side of the fence you live on, or for like people like me, who qualify many places.
