The setting for Friday night's Tailgate Party: the lawn and parking area between the Alumni House (90th & Pacific) and Countryside Church.
Reunion Co-chair Gary Hannibal lets everyone know Westside's award winning Amazing Technicolor Show Choir is setting up and will be performing soon.
Dan's '57 Chevy is becoming a reunion regular.
John Underwood serves up a special plate of barbecue for Carol, who made arrangements for the food and most of the set up for our Tailgate party.
Westside was nice enough to reserve a section for us at the football game after our tailgate supper. They must have thought, however, we were too ancient to make it up the stadium steps. They kept us on the ground level where we had an excellent view of the spectators, though not the football game.
It was a beautiful evening and the right team won. Westside beat Bellevue West by a touchdown.
After we'd finished at the football game (which was earlier for some than for others), many of us adjourned to the cocktail lounge at the Marriott.
On Saturday afternoon, many of us drove to the Henry Doorly Zoo to take the "behind the scenes" tour arranged for us by Ann McDaniel Stinson.
The Desert Dome was part of our tour.
This little meerkat kept an eye on us.
How very neat is it to be eye level with a giraffe!
The Omaha Country Club was the site of our dinner dance this time just as it was for our 40th reunion.

The buffet table was loaded with good things...
...not least of which was this tenderloin.
Dancing to Bill Wakefield and Random.
