[Leica] IMG: The Cigar Box is Now Empty

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Hi Jim,

I was just looking at your beautiful photos of Gulf Shores. It  
brought back wonderful memories of when my wife and I vacationed  
there over 20 years ago. It's certainly one of my all time favorite  
beach places in the country. The water is so clear, the pompano  
fishing was great on the State Pier and the rentals right on the  
beach were so reasonable. I'm sure most of those little houses were  
destroyed in the last few storms to the Gulf along with all the other  
beautiful places from Florida to Texas. That beautiful strip from  
Destin to Gulf Shores was pure magic.

Thanks for the memories.
Len
