The Fundamentals-In Retrospect -"So with the question of anonymity. If we have a banner, that word, speaking of the surrender of the individual - the ego - is emblazoned on it. Let us dwell thoughtfully on its full meaning and learn thereby to remain humble, modest, and ever conscious that we are eternally under divine direction." -Dr. Bob (Grapevine publication: September 1948)

Dr. Bob: A Tribute -(Grapevine publication: January 1951)

Dr. Bob's Last Major Talk -"Although a good many of you have heard or have read about the inception of A.A., probably there are some who haven't.

So, even at the risk of repetition, I would like to relate exactly what did happen in those early days." -Dr. Bob (Grapevine publication: June 1973)
