Volume 2 containing the last of Sandy's letters is now available. “Sandy” Richard Beach graduated from Yale University in 1954 and joined the U.S. Marine Corps at the tail end of the Korean War. He began a career as a jet fighter pilot - - a career that was ultimately shattered by 14 years of chronic alcoholism. In his struggle for sobriety, he experienced malnutrition, delirium tremens, and a six-month stay in a locked psychiatric ward. On December 7,1964, Pearl Harbor Day, he was shown a spiritual path to recovery and has gained his insights and perspective from 50 years on the path of the Twelve Steps. For more than 45 years, he delivered spiritual lectures and workshops across America as well as in a number of foreign countries. After completing a 20-year career as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., he retired to Tampa, Fl., where he began to put his spiritual thoughts on paper. Of his life, Sandy said, “I know that I have never seen Heaven, but I have seen hell and made it back. And now this seems like Heaven.” We are fortunate that there are hundreds of recordings available of Sandy's talks from conferences, roundups, and workshops. Until now Sandy's wisdom had not been available in book form. It is a privilege and honor to present Sandy's new book, "Dear Friend". Volume 2 is now Available!
