Each person who submitted a correct answer had their name entered for a drawing on the night of the reunion. One prize drawing entry for every correctly answered question. 

And, here are the 40th Reunion PRIZE WINNERS!

Linda (Schiller) Wood ('65)
Linda (Class of 1965) was the lucky winner of a shiny, chrome 1964 "Baby Moon" hubcap.  We figure that if Linda attends the 45th, 50th and 55th Reunion she has a decent chance to acquire a matched set of 4 Baby Moons.  Congratulations Linda!
 
Sandi (Hawkins) Bailey
Sandi won a beautiful, hand-made floral arrangement consisting of a couple dozen Kleenex tissues and some chicken wire (ala Prom decoration), exquisitely arranged in a stunning sterling silver vase (read: aluminum foil covered wine bottle).  Way to go Sandi!
 
Dona (Flory) Haltiwanger
Dona's drawing prize was a generous Gift Certificate good for $250.00 worth of food and beverage at Tom Henry's new restaurant, "The Wine Experience" in West Des Moines, Iowa.  (Unfortunately, the gift certificate expired at 7:00 PM on the night of the reunion, just an hour prior to it being presented to Dona.  Tough break, kid!)

Congratulations to our Winners!

Wacky Albert thanks you for playing Trivia Bowl

TRIVIA QUESTION #2

During junior high and high school, some of us spent as much time in Bandle's as we did in class.  What are the first names of the couple who owned Bandle's?

Answer:  Frank and Helen

Correct answers submitted:  With apologies to Jay Pieper (who had been awarded a "win" on this question), there have been no correct answers to this question to date.  Wacky Albert was certain that the correct answer was "Frank and Mary", but Frank and Helen Bandle's son, Tony, has set the record straight.  Thanks to Bill Taylor for getting the correct information "straight from the horse's mouth".  Consequently, Wacky Albert is withdrawing this question, and, in the future, will try to stick with questions that he actually knows the answers to.
