摘要:Zora and Edward loved to sail and had a a teak sailboat that was lovely, and lovingly kept. They once invited me to sail to Catalina Island for Thanksgiving. Zora had arranged for reser- vations in a local restaurant, and we enjoyed a perfect turkey dinner. It was the best Thanksgiving I've ever experienced. A story she told about their ill-fated sailing trip to Hawaii was amazing. After an aborted first attempt, they decided for safety reasons to take along a strong young man in case they ran into trouble. So they found a former high school fooball player and off they started. The boat had a stairway that dropped down into the galley partly enclosed by a half door. Even before get- ting out of sight of land, the intrepid former athlete sat on this half-door, flopped over backward, and knocked himself out on the galley floor. Zora and Edward had to turn the boat around and get him to a hospital ASAP. She said that after that, they decided the Fates were trying to tell them something, and now they were ready to listen.
