Operation of the plan (Alcoholics Anonymous), at Camp Peary, an officer from the base declared at a big open meeting in Richmond, already has resulted in much good in its aid to officers in solving the problem of Navy men getting drunk on leave and overstaying their liberty.

This is part of a write-up of a semi-public meeting held in Richmond, Virginia on May 16th—the first meeting of its kind to be held there. Several ministers and physicians attended as special guests. Tom B. of New York and White Plains was the invited guest speaker. The article appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Wednesday, May 17, 1944.
