Friend Ahoy

I would like to share a wonderful travel experience with your readers:
Many years ago on the Nordic Prince, we shared a table with a schoolteacher named Bill. I was having jaw problems (very painful, now known as TMJ). This man had so much compassion for me. When the cruise was over, we received a letter from him asking how I was feeling. The letter started a 17-year friendship through the mail.
Bill died six years ago, and much to our amazement, left my husband and me a trust fund of $500 a month for five years--totaling $30,000. He specified that this money was to be used for cruising. We have lost a dear friend, and we spent the money cruising, as he asked.
