Anyone familiar with this AA speaker tape?

As I was driving yesterday I heard a part of an AA speaker tape on the radio. I didn't have the time to listen to it then but I'd really like to find it again.

I didn't catch the name of the speaker but he was male, maybe around 60 years of age, from North Carolina and somehow ended up in Flint, Michigan where he was sentenced to prison for involuntary manslaughter sometimes in the late 1950s I think, when the speaker was 24 years old. In prison he attended AA meetings and got to know a man called Chi, who got his name because he liked stealing in the city of Chicago.

Anyone familiar with this description or could point me in the right direction? Would be much appreciated!

I am not familiar. Ask your local tape selling company.

This may not be permitted but there is a site to DL AA conference speakers called XA Speakers
It contains a large number of downloadable MP3s.

BE WELL

Sounds to me like the speaker might be Johnny Harris. He went to prison for, I believe, killing his little brother. You may be able to find his talk by Googling XA Speakers. Can't promise but sure sounds familiar. Good luck.

I'm from NC and the guy you mentioned (Tom Ivester) rung a bell so I did some searching. He is from Southern Pines which is about an hour south of me. Glad I could help!
