Dear Jack: VIVA! My Hammond's atlas tells me 1715 wretches endure Arkansas life in the town of Lonoke - where the enclosed AA paper comes forth every 2 weeks. Imagine living in Lonoke! Imagine living sober in Lonoke!! Such courage! Baxter Miles (the editor) is my new "hero" - to supplant my former one, Douglas MacArthur. Since weather stopped your invasion of Arkansas maybe this brave AA paper will wing you there in spirit. Yr fellow reformer, Joe Diggles.
