I am so tickled to see this blog and of course read about your award, not a surprise to me as working so closely under your command and dirty sharp tongue I know you deserve it.

I am not going to try to fill you in on my life except to say I am breathing, married to beautiful woman which you would appreciate, two little boys, live in San Francisco and do voiceovers for radio and tv for a living. I am getting ready to publish my first book called “Permanent Passenger: My Life on a Cruise Ship,” which tells the story of how I got my dream job working on the M.S. Ecstasy and all the great stories from that year. I have published some articles and can’t wait for folks to read it.

I so often think back to those times – how well you treated me, Happy Cole, Gene Merola, our laughs, the dancers, etc..

I will put in mail some articles I have written and copy of the book, it will come out in late October and right now I am working my thin butt off to get it publicity. I laugh when I think of the part that I talk about how you always tried to get me to do the lingerie competition on Sunday nights and also the great story where departing crewmembers came to crew office asking for t-shirts swearing you had just called down to confirm with me when there was no call. Sneaky is not the word.

Enough said, you are in my thoughts.

In another life, I worked about a billion years for Sperry, that was purchased by Burroughs, which begot Unisys, that spun my division off to Honeywell, that was almost purchased (attempted at least) by United Technology until Jack Welch and his GE ego tried to break the deal up by upping the ante only to be thwarted by the European Union and later to lose even more to his (now) ex-wife.

Small world indeed!

I do believe Carnival Splendor will be amazingly similar to one (I think maybe two) Costa ships of recent history, so there is some connection there.
