I met Charley in 1980. He received his 43 year token at the international conference. I fully believe he was sober and I be also said he helped write chapter 3. Many stories of old timers were never documented but I believe him. There’s always a negative response to just about every story. Keep coming back!
Fraud, Bogus, Fiction
Why do you say that? Does that tape have no value?
Charlie “C.J.” Brockwell probably got sober much, much later than 1935. He was certainly NOT AA #6 or a “pioneer” and most of his ‘recollection’ is pure bunkum. The “facts” here are fiction, folks.
AA amateur historians & archivists long ago rejected this “history” as pure fabulism, just like Jim Houck’s nonsense.
Just another of the AA history frauds, sadly.
Interesting reply Bill, thanks for sharing.
Read your spiel on Charlie B. He had a better relationship with Bill Ws wife then he liked to talk about. You know not what you speak, the history has been altered. Can you accept that? Historians you say did they explain why Charlies story was not shared. I did not think so. Im guessing you don’t approve of the 24 hour black book either. Or the aa historians had all ready gotten rid of to before your time. You do not know what your talking about. When you discount someone as you have you drank the koolaide stop it.
