The Third A.A. International Convention
Long Beach, California, plays host to A.A.’s 25th Anniversary celebration and 3rd A.A. International Convention in July 1960. Some 8,900 attendees are joined by many of the Fellowship’s pioneers — among them Bill and Lois Wilson, Sister Ignatia, Marty Mann, Dr. Jack Norris, Warden Clinton Duffy, and Dr. Harry Tiebout, a psychiatrist who championed A.A. and brought Marty Mann into the Fellowship. The Convention theme: "Recovery, Unity, Service."
