Once in a blue moon, you meet people that become friends forever. We met Dawn and Bill on their honeymoon, and have enjoyed spending time with them in Nova Scotia and here in Florida. Bill had more lives than a cat! He left us with memories being with him that will last forever, Bill was a bigger than life person who epitomized class and how to treat others. On that cruise, Dawn and Bill remarried on the Jolly Roger pirate ship, and in celebration after 1 or 2 Rum Punches, Bill mooned everybody on the Jolly Roger. Later that week, while Bill and I went back to the cabin early, Cathy and Dawn went to the Disco, and met Hans, the radio officer. At breakfast the next morning, Dawn told Bill and I about Hans dancing with Cathy. Bill suggested that he write a letter from Hans asking Cathy to meet him on deck later that night. At dinner that night , the maitre'd delivered the letter to Cathy at dinner. Cathy turned 3 shades of red, Then, Bill confessed it was from him. For the last 40 years, we have laughed about it. Bill, we will miss you, and someday we will be together again.
