1941 Bill and Lois move to Bedford Hills

"Friends in Westchester County, a half-hour north of New York City, help Bill and Lois work out a financial plan that enables them finally to acquire a house in Bedford Hills. On April 11, 1941, the couple spends their first night there. The comfortable shingled, hip-roofed house, which they will name Stepping Stones, affords them a measure of privacy for the first time since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded."
