This being the "Juniors' Night Out", a few of decided we'd at home, in the Breezy's German restaurant (note the German flag). Neil, Nick and I were expected to be joined by Dan, Cheryl, George and Joan in a quiet little dinner right outside our rooms, but  others had had the same brilliant idea and before we knew it ...

...

... food, fun and frivolity.

By now it was raining at this, the north end of the lake, but we didn't care!

With his suave good looks, Neil Robb had no trouble grabbing the best-looking waitress for our table.

Jack and Karen Sanderson studied the menus with a concentration some give to the Sailing Instructions.
...

George and Joan. The latter began to give me her drinks order
before she realized I was holding a camera and thus surplus to her requirements.
...

Ron Reading displayed his latest piece of sartorial splendor, challenging me to identify the code flags - which I did by poking each one. Too bad CeCe wasn't the one wearing the shirt!!
...

Jim Quiniff seemed to tolerate being with so many "geezers" admirably well.

Much later in the evening, after all had gone home to rest except the three of us Breezy tenants, the Vorels, CeCe and Catie, and Karel Vorel was shocking CeCe's Minnesotan sensibilities with tales of naughty items she had bought for a friend's(?) wedding shower, our waitress appeared in her new role (and costume) as the "Jello pops?" girl.
...

Her appearance (here with a slightly intoxicated Uncle Al) prompted CeCe to reminisce about her career as a cocktail waitress while she was a student. I seem to recall talk about dancing in cages and fishnet stockings, but my memory may well be flawed.
