12/21/91 Best thing that ever happened to me. The English

At most AA meetings they give out bronze medallions to commemorate the
anniversary of your last drink. These are commonly called "chips". Each
chip is marked with a roman numeral to signify the number of years of
sobriety attained, so a group needs to have a pretty good stock of chips
on hand to accommodate anyone celebrating a "birthday" as it is called.
This is a case for holding those chips. The big clunky handle is to
make it easy on the person setting up the meeting, since there are
usually a number of items that have to be dragged out of a storage room
to the room where the meeting takes place.

Thanx, Charlie - didn't know that. Seems a great way to mark reaching one's
goals.
