Candi and I were having dinner with some friends this past Saturday evening, Neil and Lorna Meyer, and the conversation turned to how Candi and I met. I started to tell them about our 10-day trip across the Atlantic to start a year in France, and about what fun we had on a ship full of students. They said they'd had a similar experience. Neil's a retired professor, and he explained that they had supervised a group of students from Purdue as he began his sabbatical in Italy. When we told them we'd traveled on the Aurelia in August of 1968, both couples were astonished to discover that we'd been on the same ship at the same time! Most probably, our paths crossed at least once during that voyage, and here we were, about 42 years later, sharing memories of the crossing... What are the odds? Robert
