A night at the speakeasy- which by the way, I had no idea what that meant since I am as far from a history buff as possible. Long story short: John's squadron gets tasked 2x a year to work the races at PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) as a fundraiser. Well everyone hates it... So they were throwing ideas out for alternative ways to make money and ultimately decided to just charge each of the pilots a fee (yup- making it not a fund raiser at all, but more a mandatory tax) but John had the idea to at least make it fun and feel like more than just a tax. So he and a co-planner put together Speakeasy Night. Girls for a night were flappers as the men sat back in their secret, smoke filled rooms (They rented fog machines) playing Texas Hold'em. The guys did a great job and everyone seemed to have a good time!

What a great idea!!!
and what an imagination (That's my son-in-law that did that!)
Next time, invite the other squadrons so that they can pay your way too.
how fun! And BTW, i don't believe you just had a 9 lb baby....you are smokin' hot!!!!
Are you sure you had a baby...you look amazing. I'm jealous :) I haven't developed that nice round bump...I just look like a blob...
Great pics... and you would really pass as a flapper!!! Let's see - what did babies wear back then??? He can't be a flapper!! Looks like a really great time was had by ALL!!!
Nice pics; you get those taken with your camera and put them to sepia?
