Robert Mark Ihrig

Bob is a dreamer. So was his father before him. Susan, his wife, has been his love and partner for forty-six years. Susan and Bob were born two months apart in the same Catholic hospital in McCook, Nebraska, but never met until they entered college on music scholarships, where they were in marching band together, hung out, and got married in the days of the Vietnam War. Off they went, running into potholes, pitfalls, and dead ends. They launched their plan of a lifetime in 2003, opening a restaurant and bar in the heart of Huskerland, Lincoln, Nebraska. Their place was decorated in Bob's lifelong collection of Cornhusker memorabilia. But after closing the doors and draining the beer kegs, they left town with $500 in their pockets and headed for colorful Colorado in a run-down vehicle pulling a worn-out trailer. "Serves us right for throwing a Million Dollar Party!"
