...reunions. Insurance Salesman Dave La Vine of Minneapolis is one of the regulars who can always be counted on to hold a great party. This year La Vine blew some $600 outfitting his 40-ft. rented trailer with enough goodies to treat 200 friends, clients and old Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers. "We flew all the way out here from Manhattan," says Bill Shallberg, who came out with his wife Suzie. "This is where the real pro football fans...

Our sixth planet has one moon. Our fourth planet has three. Our first and third planet each have one. Our probe is in the orbit of your moon...
