In 1890, Frank Horace C. [right], known as “Horace,” was born in Manhattan to Frances Moore and Joseph C.
He was the second of four children, all boys. Horace would join Alcoholics
Anonymous in December 1938 and become actively involved in a number of
projects within the Fellowship.
In 1988, John Bolton “Captain Jack” S. [near

obituary]
in Portland, Maine, where he had retired. He became an oil tanker captain
in the mid-1930s and achieved sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous in 1946.
He played a crucial role in founding what became the Loners
Internationalists Meeting and its confidential bulletin, a publication for
“Loners,” “Homers,” “Internationalists,” “Port Contacts” (who served as
liaisons for Internationalists visiting their port cities), and “Loner
Sponsors.” Alongside hundreds of Internationalists like him, he sailed the seven seas, spreading the A.A. message wherever they dropped
anchor and contributing significantly to A.A.’s remarkable global
growth.
