Greetings:
Help! Jane, Judy, Phyllis etc. Years back (1962 + -)the GREENE LINE had the custom of passengers writing poetry while on a cruise for judging and little prizes being given out. This along with 'parlor games,' hat contests etc. Some of them were pretty good, too. The best were read by either hostesses Peg Baker or Marty Stouder with great ceremony. Does this custom still exist on DQ boats today? I've got some samples here but don't think any of the gang want to endure reading them.
Cheers,
R. Dale Flick
