EBBY
T., The Man Who Carried The Message To Bill W.
In 1960, at the Long Beach, California Convention of
Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson wrote this dedication
in an AA book that he gave to Ebby Thacher.—"Dear
Ebby, No day passes that I do not remember that you
brought me the message that saved me - and only God
knows how many more. -In
affection, Bill"
Ebby
"Ebby had been enabled to bring me the gift of
grace because he could reach me at depth through the
language of the heart. He had pushed ajar that great
gate through which all in AA have since passed to find
their freedom under God." -- Bill W., Grapevine
