There are beatdowns... and then there are institutions.
Last week, Wet W***y marked the passing of the shovel flags from Brown Trout to Margo.
Nearly every previous Site Q returned to help lead the beatdown—Frozone, Zero Turn, Rub Down, Cousin Eddy, Rhinestone Cowboy, and Brown Trout. A fitting reminder that no one man builds an AO. Each simply takes his turn carrying the mission before passing it to the next HIM.
During the COT, Brown Trout asked a simple question:
”If Wet W***y was your first AO, raise your hand.”
Out of 50 PAX, nearly 40 hands went into the air.
That moment said everything.
Wet W***y has been where countless men first discovered F3, found brothers, and began their leadership journey. As Brown Trout shared, ”This place is special. It’s where we fall down and get up together... where we have found strength... and where we do all these things as brothers.”
Brown Trout didn’t measure his year by accomplishments. Instead, he described his greatest blessing as having a front-row seat to so many men improving themselves alongside him.
Leadership doesn’t leave Wet W***y. It multiplies from it.
Congratulations to Brown Trout on a faithful 43, and congratulations to Margo as he takes the shovel flags. The next chapter of one of the St. Louis Mega Region’s cornerstone AOs is in good hands.
