6. The phrase "rum hound from New York" just popped in my head when I thought of you in

the context of the program, you being from New York. It's how Bill W described himself when he made that famous phone call to Henrietta Seiberling that connected him to Dr. Bob. I thought it was in the Big Book but I can't find it anywhere (doing a text search of an electronic text copy of it). Anyway, it's a famous phrase (in my mind anyway), though I don't know where I first read it. I read many history of AA books back a couple decades ago.
