Augusta was such a lovely lady and wonderful friend and I feel so blessed to have known Augusta and Ed. They booked me on many trips and I got to travel with them on a number of cruise ships. They were great in their profession and ballroom dancing. I will never forget her. She will be missed. Mickey Huber
