60th Reunion in the Works
Oct. 15, 16, & 17
Results of our survey found 9 votes for East, 5 votes for West, and 4 votes for No Preference.
So we're heading East. Ann discovered a brand new Marriott Autograph hotel is opening up at 12th & Farnam May 1, and we have secured a block of rooms for our reunion at a $50/night discount. The hotel is named The Farnam, its theme is the history of Omaha, and the price for a king room for members of our group will be $146/night. The direct link for our reservations as well as more information about the rooms and the hotel is here. The hotel will appreciate our reserving our rooms as soon as possible.
Lobby of The Farnam
We also found a home for our Friday night registration/drinks/food event. All of Omaha and the surrounding area will be lying at our feet when we gather at the top of the First National Bank of Omaha Tower, guests of Bruce Lauritzen, chairman of the bank, good friend of the Stinsons, and our classmate through our Freshman year at Westside.

Current state of planning:
• a Friday registration/food/drinks event atop the First National Bank of Omaha Tower
• Saturday tour of Westside (including its brand new, state-of-the-art, first-in-the-nation golf practice facility)
