'LOVE BOAT' HEADED FOR SCRAPYARD

The famed "Love Boat" is not feeling the love. USA Today reported:

"One of the most famous cruise ships of the modern era, the former Pacific Princess, has made a final voyage to a scrapyard in Turkey, Reuters is reporting. The news service says the 42-year-old vessel, recognizable to millions of Americans as the 'Love Boat' of 1970s television, will be dismantled for its metal and parts."

I think most would agree the "Love Boat" did more to boost the cruise industry than maybe any other single event. For that, and many hours of entertainment, we say a special thanks to Captain Merrill Stubing, Gopher, the Bartender and the rest of the cast. How about hearing that theme song performed by Jack Jones one more time? -- Gerry
