I cannot find any info on the topic of the 3rd AA Group's actual start date. I have often wondered why the foreward to the 2nd Edition states "... to be followed in 1937 with the start of a third at Cleveland." We know that Clarence Synder's sober date isn't until early 1938 and he famously broke the Cleveland contingent from Akron in early 1939 so why does this foreword still say that the 3rd group started in 1937? I have a hard time exlaining this to sponcees.
