Here in Charles’ story we may also have the story of Dr. Howard Searl, the
man who had helped Earl Treat. Dr. Searl was sober in January of 1937 according
to Earl’s father as well as in July of 1937. 90 Dr. Bob lists him on The Amos Roster
with just six months of dry time for a continuous sober date of September 1937
or, more likely, multiple slips. What happened Perhaps the story told by Charlie
Simonson gives us the answer. Dr Searl might have relapsed and been back in
the hospital. We can’t say with any certainty that this is what occurred but the
facts might support this interpretation. Of course based on our work so far, it
could have been Ernie, Walter, Phil Smith or Bill Jones that Charlie met in the
hospital as a fellow patient. For more background on Dr. Howard Searl see the
Rockefeller Report included as Appendix I at the back of this book.
Our last two Akronites like several before are also unknown to us through
A.A. literature. Both Frank Krumrine and Irvin Nelson are listed on The Amos
Roster and the Cleveland 220 List. Krumrine’s name appears to be misspelled on
the Cleveland list (Crumrine). We hope more will be revealed as we continue our
research, but for now, they join us on
The Golden Road of Devotion
Pathway to a New Freedom and a New Happiness
“Life was intended to grow souls not fortunes
To make character not whoopee
To gain depth of understanding not eminence is business or social circles
To seek the will of God not the praise of the public”
