April 4 in A.A. History

 In 1894, Margaret Mary Pennington was born in Baltimore, Maryland. While abroad, she would meet Count Victor Von Lüttichau of Germany and marry him in Switzerland. The Count would die around 1946, and in 1948, she would marry Dr. William D. Marbury, who had a practice in Washington, D.C.
    As Margarita Von Lüttichau, she would play a crucial role as an intermediary between Carl Jung [near right] and Bill W. [far right], the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. She would become a student of Jung and a protégé of Bill’s, acting as a bridge between their ideas and writings. After World War II, she would frequently travel between the U.S. and Switzerland, introducing the writings and concepts of each to the other.
