Hi. I'm afraid we still have lurker statis but my thanks to all of you who have welcomed us first to the Radisson cc board and now here. We have cruised for many years but never on Radisson. Larry and I have been married for 42 years. We met on the blind date from hell and were engaged six weeks later. We have two grown, married children who live nearby in Palm Beach County, Florida and a recently married grand daughter in graduate school in Denton, Texas. We relocated here from Maryland in January 2003 after being snowflakes for four years. Larry still goes back Monday to Thursday to his office there where he is the CFO and vice president of a computer management firm. I retired a year ago from being a senior management analyst/major acquisitions specialist (that means anything over $1B)for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/ DOC after being diagnosed with cancer and am now happy to announce that as of my last check-up, I am cancer-free. One day we will be on a Radisson cruise (I am especially interested in going on the Diamond after reading all your comments). Until then, I shall happily lurk. You all give me a smile and a giggle every morning. My special thanks to Karen for her help. I'm sure when we finally meet, you will be as lovely as you seem to be.
