Re: Weekend Open House

We first met Mary Ann in person in Adelaide, I think it was February 2004, she was sailing on Star Princess and we lived near the harbour. We had exchanged emails and arranged to meet her at the ship; we took her on a bit of a tour of our area and city.
We were to meet her again in 2008 on Volendam's New Zealand cruise but unfortunately she couldn't make it. Then we had the wonderful opportunity to join the 2009 Alaska Duck cruise. What a quacking great time we had!
Mary Ann was the most gracious and generous Lady, a true gentlewoman.

Thank you Charles for the special location to honour our dear friend. I will have a glass of champagne please.
