Chuck C was from from Laguna Beach California, he was 36 years sober at the time of this speak. Chuck was highly regarded as a speaker over the many years he was an active member of AA, he is also a pretty funny guy. This speak took place at an unknown meeting held in Houston Texas in June of 1982. It is an excellent quality recording. He one of my personal favorites.

Chuck is also credited as the author of the book "A New Pair of Glasses" in reality it is a transcript of a speak he gave at a mens retreat in 1975. Sadly the recording is pretty awful, a couple of years ago I attempted to reach Chuck's son to see if he would be willing to grant the rights to have it re-recorded and I was hoping he would be willing to do the recording (if you know who he is you can understand why). Unfortunately as hard as I tried I was never able to reach him, so on the slim chance any of you have his contact info please reach out.

If you want to give the book a read it is out of print but lots of copies are still floating around. It is not AA approved literature but its really excellent http://amzn.to/2FKdg9V

The "A New Pair of Glasses" audio is also available on Sober Cast but it was posted quite a while ago, if you have any issues finding it please just let me know and Ill repost it.

Tom I is speaking on the The 12 Traditions in Springfield, MO. Many of Tom's speaks have very little information regarding the time or place this is one of them. 

Tom has long been a highly regarded speaker in AA. The podcast will be featuring  "Tom Tuesday" until we run through his library.    Tom I became sober at the age of 28, attending an AA meeting in a maximum-security prison. He had been sentenced there after he killed two teenagers during a blackout. Upon his release he dedicated his life to carrying the message of recovery to other inmates. He was the first former prisoner hired to work within the prison system. His journey eventually took him from prisoner to warden. Tom was sober over 65 years at the time of his passing in 2022.   Help Sober Cast carry the message: https://sobercast.com/donate
