That or people rehabbing from something. Werner started visiting the Alano Club after his wife, Carol Sue Werner, died in 1994. Werner was lonely and would stop in four times a day for some company. His one tobacco weakness is gnawing on a cigar that he keeps unlit in his mouth, backward. Alano is a good place to go if you want to talk to somebody who might be trying to get past the same thing you're trying to get past.
Members can have a cup of coffee and play pool, pinball or video poker.
The kitchen offers, among other things, biscuits and gravy for breakfast and hamburgers for lunch. Werner was a dues-paying member until last year. He stopped because a handful of people were smoking. Werner complained to the board of directors, saying that smoking was illegal and that it aggravated his emphysema. He was told that since the club was private, members could smoke.
