Spate wanted to share with the class his Thanksgiving holiday cruise. He said he was offered a Dance Host position on a 10 night cruise to the Canal Zone and Columbia. It sounded like a good deal so he accepted the offer. He had a room to himself and it was a very nice one. He said he was the youngest man on board by at least 20 years. He was on the dance floor every night from 9pm to 12pm and had the ladies falling all over him to dance. Spate said ladies from 75 to 92 years old shouldn't have any cocktails and try to dance. The trip was not exactly what he had envisioned but fun for the time.
