“Wow
I cant believe you mentioned that Clancy guy! The superstar of So
Cal. I used to attend a mtg in Huntington Beach Cali, and I had just
moved there from Long Island. I went to my regular mtg and it was
sooo crowded but somehow I squeezed into a chair along the wall. I
asked this older man why it was so crowded and he said because Clancy
was speaking. So I said whos Clancy and the guy was beside himself.
He couldnt believe that I had never heard of the man. Then I find out
that the guy has like a whole cult of AAers following his policies
which include no facial hair and you must wear a jacket and tie
whenever you speak or celebrate. So I forget about Clancy ( I have a
life after all) and moved back to NY. I take a vacation down to fort
lauderdale Florida and go to a meeting on a HOT summer night. It must
have been in the 90's in the room and there was a speaker there who
was wearing a suit and just melting! You could see the sweat dripping
out of sleeves. Everybody else was in shorts and Tank tops or
anything to keep cool. And then he shares that he has to wear this
suit cause his sponser is Clancy and he requires him to. The guy had
over ten years if I remember correctly. Man did I feel sorry for that
poor guy. Now thats taking direction. Only in the rooms.”
