Free Money for Widow

I hope Rob shows up next week:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)—Royal Caribbean Cruises has agreed to pay more than $1 million to the estate of a Connecticut man who vanished from his honeymoon cruise of the Mediterranean in 2005.

The Florida-based company will pay $950,000 to the estate of George Allen Smith IV and reimburse his widow, Jennifer Hagel Smith, for legal costs up to $110,000. Hagel Smith will start a fund in memory of her husband with an initial donation of $25,000 that the cruise line will match, according to a copy of the settlement obtained by The Associated Press.

Smith, 26, of Greenwich, disappeared July 5, 2005, from Royal Caribbean’s Brilliance of the Seas between Greece and Turkey after an apparent late night of drinking. The FBI has been investigating, but no one has been charged and no body has been recovered.

So without any evidence of negligence the cruise line is going to shell out a million bucks to this lady.  I suppose it was better to settle rather than having some jury who would feel sorry for the widow.

By the way if you click on the link you’ll find out that there’s a very attractive widow that may still need consoling.

ooo--I like that.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

OH… I get it.  Took me a little while.  I’m still recovering from rehersal supper and wedding company.

At least I don’t have to worry about him falling off a boat.  They’re staying at a haunted hotel.  Just have to worry about a ghost getting them.  In light of the weather I did make them promise not to do any geocaching on side roads.

Not that he’s going to have much of a Blog to come back to. You haven’t noticed if he left any passwords lying around in the office?  I can’t change the name of the Blog without it.

I didn’t notice but then I never hang out at the office.  Maybe we could change it to carolwhistblog.com?  Do you think he’d mind?
