more to have my furniture packed and ready for shipping, we parted having arranged to meet at the boat the following week. F Zossie: We sailed on the S. S. Patricia, one of thelargest ships in the Bilodeau Boat Lines. I checked with the customs inspector, Danny Mor- ton, and gave my bags to the steward, Bernard Gregoire, who took them to my cabin. That night I met Fitzy, and we dined with Captain Dave Bachand. Among the passengers dining at the captains table was Bob Cirvan, the oil ty- coon. Captain Bachand estimated that Bob was worth at least Hve million dollars. We also recognized Neil Bean and his bride, Betty Can- tell, who were occupying the bridal suite. During dinner, music was furnished by an all-woman orchestra under the direction of judy Morton. Mortyis Rhythmettes included Bertha Lumbra, Sandy Smart, and Pat Church. The next few days were spent in reading, playing shuffleboard, and exploring the ship. We discovered a flower shop run by Betty King who told us that Sandy Kelley was married and living in Africa. In the shop we met Bob Pierce, who told us that he had passed his bar examination seven years before and had recently been appointed a judge in the Supreme Court, the youngest man ever to receive this honor. Fitz: One sunny afternoon as Flossie and I were comfortably seated in our deck chairs, a loud cry of Man overboardv pierced the air. We jumped from our chairs and ran to the rail just in time to see a rescue boat manned beside the drovwming person. As they hauled the wet, bedraggled figure into the life boat, we realized it was joan Aldrich, one of the shipis chambermaids. Barb Benoit, head nurse on the Patricia, efficiently bundled joanie off to the in- Hrmary. As we neared the coast of France, we noticed a neat lighthouse situated on a small island. First mate Bill Willis informed us that it had been purchased a few years before by Leonard Trombley, and Len had brought his bride, Laurice Turnbull, to share his solitary par- adise. Flossiez After the boat docked, I went to my hotel and checked in. On the way to meet F itzy for dinner, I saw a newsboy on a corner. Wanting to find out the results of the Presidential election in the United States, I went up to him. It was Roddy Hill! I bought a paper, and when I read the name of the new President, I couldn't believe my eyes! It was so amazing! Never would I have thought it possible! I thought about it all during dinner. After dinner I said good-bye to F itzy and wished him good luck at his new post. Then I left for my hotel still wondering about the new President. fTurns away to sit down.l Fitzy: F lossie, arerft you going to tell us who the President was? Flossie: CStops and faces audiencej Oh, didnit I tell you? It was a man who had proved his ability to talk his way in and out of any by Bud Could and Dave Cleveland pull up situation: . . .
