By Dick B.
Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous
His Excellent Training in the
Good Book
As a Youngster in Vermont
This
title tells you about A.A. cofounder Dr. Bob’s “excellent training” in the “Good
Book” as “a youngster.” It presents an in-depth exploration of the training Dr.
Bob received during his boyhood years in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. You will see,
from its documented details, that young Bob’s major Christian training—the
training translated into the early A.A. spiritual recovery program in Akron—came
from his parents, Walter P. and Susan H. Smith; North Congregational Church, St.
Johnsbury; the Christian Endeavor Society of that church; and the rigorous
requirements and studies at the famous St. Johnsbury Academy. The authors
traveled to St. Johnsbury; visited principal buildings existing during Bob’s
youth; interviewed the North Church pastor, the St. Johnsbury Academy archivist
and the librarian, people at his boyhood home, and others. Then began their
intensive research of the actual records, background books, photos, and
communications. The bibliography will help readers to do likewise if they
choose. More importantly, this title is a companion to a second “volume”
comprising 20 resource binders and to a large number of books in the newly-
founded Dr. Bob Core Library at North Congregational Church, St. Johnsbury,
which houses extensive historical, biographical, educational, Christian, and
other books, manuscripts, and photographs.
