Joe McQuany and Charlie Parmley, a team of two men (who died in 2007 and 2011, respectively) known as Joe and Charlie who met in 1973.
They were two Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) members who taught others about the Big Book of AA. They believed that the Big Book was essential for recovery and that its teachings could be made accessible to everyone

The tale of Joe and Charlie begins in the early 1970s, when Joe McQuany, a recovering alcoholic from Arkansas, and Charlie Parmley, another AA member from Oklahoma, crossed paths. Both men had found solace and a new way of life through the principles of AA, and they shared a deep passion for the Big Book

The Joe & Charlie Big Book Studies
In 1973 Joe McQuany introduced Charlie Parmley as the AA speaker at an Al-Anon Convention. Joe and Charlie soon discovered that they both shared a love for the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Traveling between their homes to discuss the Big Book became a regular event. Eventually others were invited to join these discussions and in 1977 they met together as a group in Tulsa Oklahoma. From this event they were invited to share a program on the Big Book at one of the participants' home AA group in Lawton Oklahoma. This presentation was recorded and the tapes began to be circulated. By 1980 Joe and Charlie had presented the workshop eight times. At the 1980 International AA Convention in New Orleans, Wesley Parrish, an impassioned Big Book lover from Pompano Beach, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA's from all over the world and gave away 100 sets of the talks from the 1st 1977 Joe and Charlie seminar as door prizes. His intent was to spark interest in spreading the seminar across the country. To do so he assigned the seating and placed the tapes under the chairs of individuals, he felt would be the most likely to organize this type of event in their home areas. Invitations exploded and within a couple of years, Joe and Charlie were presenting about 36 studies a year worldwide. Studies have been given in most the states and Canadian provinces. Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands all hosted the Big Book Study seminars with Joe & Charlie. As Joe McQuany aged he was not able to keep the taxing schedule. In stepped Joe McCoy, an early participant, and filled the void. Presented below are multiple versions of their weekend events - the first with Joe McQuany and the second with Joe McCoy. The 2005 version found below, featured all three men presenting. This event still continues around the world by different speakers.
