Singular Problem

In reply to Robert Rath (“Single Retort,” Letters, April 6) regarding single supplements:

My husband of 42 years died in March of 1996 of cancer. Now besides missing him terribly and not having him to go on trips with, do I deserve to be financially punished for the rest of my life?

There was a tour I wanted to go on in late February, and even though it was with a group, there was no single person available to go with. The cost was $1,890 per person, double occupancy; $2,690, single. It is definitely not my preference [to travel alone].
