Part 2

Tonight, I'm reminded of my roomate fall quarter our senior year Ginny Lingren Edwards.
Ginny was "the pretty girl". The one who always seemed to be having fun and dated all the cool guys. Ginny has such a great laugh and everyone around her seem to have fun.
When we started planning for our cruise, Ginny asked if we could room together again, for old times sake. So we did.
Ginny is the one in the big white hat in the upper left of the picture. She helped me plan the fun stuff for the cruise and asked the questions win the door prizes each day at breakfast. Every night we lay in bed laughing trying to figure out what silly things we could ask our friends the next morning so everyone eventually would win a door prize. Ginny also did the planning of the 2 excursions we took while on the cruise.
The first excursion was billed as Catalina Island Land and Sea, almost sound like a dinner menu right? The sea part was billed as an open bottom boat to view the sea life. Well, we had a great time laughing together and watching through the large fish bowl type thing in the middle of the boat to view fish that looked very much like carp. it was great. We then took a bus tour of Catalina, learned alot about the island , history, business and that Natalie Wood drowned just off shore!! We spent the afternoon sightseeing and shopping or going back to the ship.
Pat Roe Laube, the one just left of me in the picture. had purchased a student nurse doll in the SPU bookstore somewhere around 1969. She brought the doll , whom we named Nancy, we took pictures of the doll in every situation we possibly could . She is dressed in the student uniform that we wore. Thanks Pat for adding to the fun.
Now back to Ginny. She has seen her share of the good, the bad and the ugly in life , as all of us have by this time in life. She has 3 children , one severely disabled. Yet , My Ginny, is still fun , still laughs with gusto, loves God, loves her children and loves her husband. Thanks, Ginny, for rooming with me once again. Thanks for the memories old and new.
