424 people listening to Doctor Silkworth. That must have been some meeting!

I recently found a bit of early AA history from New York. I was looking at the 1940 census information (NY just became searchable about two weeks ago). It shows Bill and Lois living at 145 W 55th Street New York (Hell's Kitchen) in April 1940. This was just after their place on Clinton St. was repossessed by the bank. Bills’ occupation was listed as Social Worker.
