In Omaha in 1985, my clients were talking about Enron, a result of Houston Natural Gas merging with InterNorth, which had brought many job opportunities for Omaha. In the same breath, Warren Buffett predicted that recent gains in the market would not be sustainable; he knew his stuff, as a stock-market crash was less than two years away. The Huskers finished the game that evening with a 34–24 win against Oklahoma State. We ended up being ranked 11th after the bowl games. Sting released The Dream of the Blue Turtles, his first solo album only a year after the Police had unofficially broken up.

While the Huskers, Sting, and Buffett were busy, Lucy Mangiamelli of Omaha, Nebraska, became Lucy Ducey. Her bridesmaids’ dresses did not look like overly frosted cupcakes. Faith Webber promised to send me postcards through her world tour. A young and beautiful woman planned an imaginary wine-and-cheese party in a psych unit, and Ben Keller received his first rosary gift, bringing his rosary collection to a total of one.

The next Monday, some poor guy would have the send-off of all send-offs at Saint Patrick’s church with Lucy’s wedding roses all around.

Oh, and in 1985, author Bill Bryson received an invitation to Omaha on a beautiful fall day.

Anytime, buddy, anytime.
