Alissa Stephan Potocnik '95 of Lee's Summit, Mo., knew she had to come up with something creative and fun for her the 40th birthday of her husband Jason Potocnik '95.
It'd be even better if it was a surprise.
More than six months in advance, Alissa cooked up a plan with some of Jason's friends in Texas. If they'd be willing to drive up for the TCU-Kansas football game, she'd organize a tailgate scene and enlist their help in celebrating his big Four-Oh birthday.
And that's just what happened. Dustin Ater '95, Scott Wrehe '95, Daryl Horton '95, Peter Couser '95, Christian Ellis '95, Luke Brock '96 and Rick Waters '95 journeyed up to get in on the surprise. Some of the guys showed up at Jason's work place with signs and took him to a Kansas City Royals baseball game the night before the Frogs battled the Jayhawks.
Alissa even ordered up t-shirts for the guys, her children and Jason's parents and siblings with the now-famous Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy phrase, "I'm a man! I'm 40!"
