Gary's 50th Tour Celebration

Gary's 50th Tour Celebration
	The celebration began at Gary's home store (Omaha, NE - Oakview) on June 6, 2008.
Mike Miles & Gary Hammack
	Mike considers Hambie the "Governor" of Nebraska and Gary the "Mayor" of Omaha. He was somewhat concerned that such high-ranking officials were traveling together, but it all ended up working out fine. Why Governor & Mayor? These are the two WBT leaders in the State of Nebraska.
John "Hambie" Hamilton & Gary Hammack
	Just when we were ready to depart from the Oakview Store, we heard a voice from the heavens above telling us to, "go forth and drink beer." It turns out that it was Oakview's very own General Manager, Travis, doing some work up in the rafters. Man, that guy does a little bit of everything in that store.
