Geocache Description:

This camoed lemonade mix container is part of the BIBB series; while it’s a fine park and walk (and not really a park and grab), its location makes it Best If By Bike.

This BIBB is in honor of a notable Omahan you may be unaware of.

Ann Ronell, born in Omaha as Ann Rosenblatt, was a songwriter who wrote or co-wrote two extremely popular songs from the mid-20th century: Willow Weep for Me and Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Willow Weep for Me is now considered a jazz standard, with well over 800 different versions being recorded, including a pop hit version from 1964 by Chad and Jeremy. In 1932, when she wrote the song, her boyfriend was the incomparable composer and songwriter George Gershwin, so fairly or not, it has been rumored for 80 years about how much help she may have had in composing the song.

Frank Churchill wrote Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? for the phenomenally popular Disney cartoon Three Little Pigs. Ann Ronell was working for Disney at the time and is credited with "additional lyrics."  While it might be said that anyone who has ever heard the song has inevitably added "additional lyrics" while trying to remove the impossibly catchy earworm from their brains (the words practically write themselves -- go ahead, try it!), she does get official credit.

Ann Ronell had a lifetime of career music credits, but is by far best known for these two hits.

There will be some bushwhacking from the Westin Hills Nature Habitat trail. There have been caches back here in the past, I believe, so some of you may be returning to familiar territory. 



First finder congrats to the indomitable 3omahakids, another notable Omahan!
