Also appreciate the photo of that medallion which I have not seen. All of mine are the simple old style. I wish I had kept notes on all of them because many were presented in far away places where I traveled in my early years such as Wyoming and Oregon. Anytime I let it be known I had an anniversary day near that day, the group would go into celebration mode. Just like when a new-comer is discovered, the meetings go into 1st Step mode!
Have you had the opportunity to read the book "AA Comes of Age"? If not, I highly recommend it to help better understand the roots of AA and all the trials the founders went through early on. Reading it helped reinforce an understanding of how the Traditions came about and taught me to encourage sponsees to embrace those principles.
