This website was originally run by Jim H. in California. His transition from this material world to a life beyond physical embodiment occurred in spring 2001. His original Website was last updated: 25 April 1999 and  is, naturally, no longer maintained and paid for by him. According to his last will we continue his work. The newsletter material presented here is mostly from 1994 trough 1998. We updated most links, inserted working e-mail contacts and left the rest unchanged.

AA BBSG, June 2001.

On aamo.info we've again updated some of the links and eliminated email addresses as they no longer work. We did convert all the OPPF newsletters we have to an online format. We hope you enjoy The work of Jim H, and the later work of Dennis M.

In accordance with the Declaration of Mexico, we invite you to join with us in harmonious and brotherly action to insure that Alcoholics Anonymous will always be available to the alcoholic who still suffers.

Many of us have grave concerns about the direction being taken by many groups within AA, and, at times, by the direction being taken by our New York Headquarters itself.

That concern was expressed in the first issue of OPPF in July, 1994.

At present, we are in the process of "marking up" back issues. As time goes by, we will be adding more back issues and more background material. In fact, because Raymond C. has volunteered to mark up old issues, that project should be speeded up significantly. Many thanks, Raymond!
