Notes	Daniel Carlson’s obituary http://magshare.org/narchive/NArchive/1956/08.21.1956_Daniel_L._Carlsen_Obituary.pdf New York Herald Tribune - August 21, 1956 (article page l2) - Danny Carlsen. Founder Of Narcotics Anonymous Danny Carlsen, fifty,..... died Sunday (8/19)......He was founder of Narcotic Anonymous. .….(He) finally "kicked" the habit in 1949 after he returned to New York City following his eighth stay at the Public Health Service Hospital for addicts in Lexington, Ky. This time, he brought back with him the idea for Narcotics Anonymous, based on the day-to-day principles of Alcoholics Anonymous….. The Salvation Army welcomed Mr. Carlsen and his project and gave him a small office in which he held twice-a-week meetings with other addicts anxious to rehabilitate themselves. The idea, like its prototype Alcoholics Anonymous, spread, and within a year there were similar organizations in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Chicago, and elsewhere….. Mr. Carlsen had suffered the loss of one kidney as a result of the use of drugs, and had been in poor health a long time before his final illness.
