While researching, I keep coming across
references to "24 Magazine." Can anyone help
guide me to any links or sites for this?
What was this publication? Is it still in
circulation?

Just want the group to be aware of an AA
history resource — 24 Newsletter. 24 Newsletter
is a current version of the 24 Magazine. 24
Magazine was probably best known for the
article, "Gresham's Law and Alcoholics
Anonymous." The author of this article is
Tom P. Jr. Tom P. Jr. is the publisher of
24 Newsletter and contributes an article
about AA each month.
To view June's 24 Newsletter:

For an example of little bits of AA history
-- in June's newsletter Tom Jr. gives the
name of the hymn Marty Mann used to describe
her spiritual experience to Dr. Tiebout
which was, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms."
Next month's main article is about Dr. Tom M.
(AA 1939) -- in which Bill W. called, "One
of the greatest stories to come out of AA"
-- and is an actual transcript of Bill
telling about Dr. Tom M. Dr. Tom got the AA
Big Book in 1939 while a patient at
Lexington Hospital for drug addicts. Tom M.
wrote to AA, got sober, started one of the
first groups to communicate with headquarters
by mail, and more.
