A Louisiana New Year

Larry and Pam were great hosts for a pre-Sugar Bowl get together. It has been 20 years since being in Baton Rouge. We hope the following photos bring back memories to all the family.

A huge bonfire provided warmth to the body and good friends gave a glow to the soul.

Driving around Baton Rouge meant seeing the old neighborhood, Wedgewood school, Woman's Hospital, visiting with Don Zuber, and eating at Drucilla's resturant.

The Sugar Bowl and the Host City: New Orleans

We traveled the city via street cars and walked many miles on the River and French Quarter.

Food was great (as you would expect) and the servers were totally fun. Can you remember Bananas Foster with a three foot flame?

All that food was more palatable given the good friends and companions we enjoyed.

With a Superdome capasity of 72,000 the 12,000 Utah fans had to raise the volume to compete with Alabama.

But in the end, Utah kicked butt and there were no Alabama fans to be seen with 2:00 minutes left in the game.

We even found time to make new friends on the street.

The sights, sounds and history of the city.
