Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Hello Cruisers and Cruisers to be,
Wow, the cruises to Alaska were all I hoped
they would be and more! Wonderful scenery,
wonderful service, food, excursions, and nightly
shows. And so many new friendships were formed.
And yes, at least five romances on-board
(that I know of!!).
Great Comments-
Following are just a sample of the comments I
received from participants in the Alaska cruises:
Cupid's arrow is still in me!! It's really hard for me to
keep my mind at work. I am still seeing the
gentleman. Thank you!!!
Each of your Senior Bachelor events, including the
cruise, have provided opportunities for me for new
growth. I meet so many interesting people (and from
all over the world). Thank you and keep the events
coming!!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED the cruise.
Every minute of the cruise was special for me. The
staff of Holland America was absolutely AAA. I did
meet some nice men and hope there will be more on
future cruises. (Richard's note: there will be-at
least I will be working hard to see this occurs)
I adored the photos Umberto took. Gee, our own
personal paparazzo. I will send you (for Umberto) $20
for the video.
This was my first cruise and I must admit I was
scared. Scared because I traveled from the east
coast to the west coat by myself (for the first time),
met my cabin roommate( to be) in Seattle, and well,
I was very nervous. I finally stepped out of the box I
was in and you have given me a new lease on life.
Thank you.
I loved getting dressed up for dinner every night. and
I really loved all of the attention from the waiters.
This was my 47th cruise with Holland
America. And it was the best due to the group. I
have attended all of the Senior Bachelor events so
far; Manhattan Beach, Chicago and now the cruise
to Alaska. I hope there will be many more. I look
forward to these events all year.
My daughter and I have not spent this much time
together, alone, in 20 years. Thank you.
(Richard's note: There were 5 mother-daughter
combinations on the 2 cruises)
I am married, and my wife and I had a ball. Part of
the reason we went on this "singles" cruise was
because we know you and used your group for a
great price. Ha!
How about a cruise for grandparents and
grandchildren? (Richard's reply- "There will be.
Keep tuned to the Cruise Newsletters.")
No more 9:00 AM meetings!! (OK!!!!)
Loved the shore excursions. However they seemed
pricey. Because your groups are so large, can't you
get us a discount like you did for the cruise??
(Yes-I will do in the future)
Sign me up now for a Caribbean cruise next February
plus the Greek Isle cruise next fall.
(From a man)-I really did not realize how many
extraordinary women would be in the group. I was
reluctant to go and only went because I wanted to
see Alaska. And I thought I would be bored on board.
Believe me, I wasn't bored, and please do not get
more men on the cruises. Ha ha.
Great beds!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I learned a lot from these cruises. A survey with both
cruises has given me a wealth of great ideas, all of
which will be used going forward for more great
cruises and meetings.
You may have read in a regular Newsletter last week
that I am about to be affiliated with a large travel
agency. This will give us even better prices and
amenities on cruises, and other travel related events
as we go forward. I will send details once this
arrangement has been made.
Next year I am planning (6) cruises, including:
In February, leaving from southern Florida (probably),
2 Caribbean cruises- one to the eastern Caribbean
the other to the western Caribbean. Also a cruise
through the Panama Canal, also around that time. A
grandparents-grandchildren cruise, probably in July,
another Alaska cruise for those that missed the past
ones in August, and a Greek Island cruise in the fall.
When the cruises are finalized, I will send you details.
Stay tuned!!!
Umberto and I made videos of each of the Alaska
cruises. This would be a terrific way for you to see
what kind of a time everyone had on the trips. If you
would like to purchase one (the net proceeds go to
Umberto) please send $20 to: Richard Roe, 3010 The
Strand, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. Any excess
income will go towards maintaining the website- for
all of us.
Ciao and I'll be in touch soon with new cruise details. Very best wishes, Richard Roe Senior Bachelor PS- Be sure to visit the Journey Photos Page of the Senior Bachelor Website to see more photos from the cruise!! (To forward this email to a friend, click here.)
Some computers have a problem opening the photos
from the Senior Bachelor Newsletter. If so, wait a
few days and go to www.seniorbachelor.com and
click on the most recent Newsletter and you'll
probably be able to see them there.
Senior Bachelor Video- Now Available!
Many people have asked to see the video that
Umberto has been shooting from day one of this
Search for Romance and Adventure. Umberto worked
on the editing for 3 months and it is now available,
and I must say it is amazing.
The 2-disc DVD is slightly over 2 hours and starts out
with the introduction of Senior Bachelor on Oprah
and People Magazine,
and the get-togethers in
Manhattan Beach and Chicago.
And folks wait 'till you
see the crazy hat party in Chicago. You will roar with
laughter I' m sure.
Then you will see the visit to Manhattan Beach by all
22 Fabulous Finalists, a highlight is when seeing more
than 20 million dollars worth of jewels at Harry
Winston's on Rodeo Drive.
And then off to Brazil, Argentina and Chile with Vicki
and Gael. Truly wonderful shots in Rio de Janiero, the
Amazon Jungle (really fun to see), Iguassu Falls,
Salvador, and lots of Chile, highlighted by the
incredible Atacama Desert.
When I found out I had cancer, Umberto filmed in
real time my finding out the news. And more, much
more.
I think most of the readers of this Newsletter know
that my son Chris and I made a film, Pop & Me, which
won 6 film festivals and was a Semi-finalist for an
Academy Award in 2000, and was sold and put in
theaters by MGM in 2000.
For the past 6 years I
have taught filmmaking classes and seminars at UCLA
and USC and other film schools. I feel very sure that
you will be highly entertained by the Senior Bachelor
Video. I am so sure I will offer a guaranteed 100%
refund of your money if you do not like the video.
Simply return it to me.
Please note that the proceeds from this video will
pay Umberto for his wonderful efforts and anything
left over will go towards the expenses of running the
website.
You can obtain the video by sending a check, or
money order, for $29.95 to Richard Roe. 3010 The
Strand, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 (U.S.A.) I do
hope you will support this mission- and have FUN
watching the Adventure unfold.
I've always talked about Romance being part of the Senior Bachelor Adventure. From the looks of it some new, deep friendships were formed on the cruises. It wouldn't be the first time that this Adventure has brought people together.... If you have been reading the Newsletters you have probably read the story Marie sent me. An abbreviated version follows: Dear Richard, I kept reading your newsletters, and I thought, "why not try a two month membership to Perfectmatch? What do I have to lose?" I had been very reluctant to use any online dating services. After completing the free Perfectmatch Compatibility Profile offered on www.seniorbachelor.com and signing up, the first glance at other profiles was exciting- were there really over 425 single men over 50 in my area? Just before the end of the two month trial, I met Michael. We began writing, then talked on the phone multiple times, then finally met for breakfast. After the second week, and a long motorcycle ride, we were both hooked and are now enjoying the romance of being in love- who would have thought it could happen so fast! Family and friends are still important in my life, and always will be. Yet, it is that very special bonding, and sharing of life's day to day activities, past experiences, hopes and dreams, and especially the warmth of human touch that was so missing. We both think we have something special in the works, yet plan to enjoy the relationship for awhile before considering marriage. Thank you for sharing your dream with thousands and really making a difference in so many lives. May your health continue to improve, and may your journey continue until, you, too find that perfect match! Marie Last week I received the following e-mail from Marie. I'm the Marie in the love story still shown in your newsletter. Michael has proposed and I've accepted! As stated in my original letter, our attraction to each other and the romance was almost instant for both of us - from the very first meeting. We were both a little shaken by the intensity and how fast it happened and said initially that we needed some time for the relationship to develop. Well, after 4 months we decided the wait was long enough- at our age why waste time? Seriously, we have searched our hearts and that "gut" feeling and it just seems right. We have discovered a lot about each other in the time spent together and like what we see. We have not yet set the wedding date, but are making plans to consolidate our two households and years of collections of "stuff" -that is a challenge in itself. He is a wonderful companion and friend- one that I would not have met if it had not been for your newsletters and encouragement to join PerfectMatch. Marie
