2012 already appears to be another exciting year. We begin our travels with a winter-time cruise from Charleston, SC. As the cold weather finally pays a visit to the East Coast, we will sail away hopefully to a warmer climate for a few days. Port calls will include Key West, Florida and then to Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas.
John's sister Ruth will see us off this year, as we have never sailed from Charleston before. We look forward to a short visit with her prior to our sailaway on Saturday.
Another special treat has been a visit with John's college roommate, Royster Hedgepeth, who recently retired and moved to Wilmington, NC. He and his wife Kathryn provided us with a delightful "coffee break" at their home as we made our way to North Myrtle Beach for a stop-over on our way to Charleston. The years since Wake Forest have been kind to us. I can't believe it has been over 40 years since we have been in contact with each other. Our reunion was occasioned by the fact that our Chase City church is located near Royster's hometown of South Boston, VA, and mutual friends have enabled us to link up again.
