Brommer who painted the staterooms and Mrs Bubby Muilenburg formerly Mudge Mouw decorated the rooms but she has arven up interior decorating because she devotes all her time to her husband and family I then started to look arouna to see if I knew any of the passengers aboard Sure enough there was Jamce Vermeer I went up to her and asked her what she was doing aboard she told me that she was goung
