Gary the Gator was born in 1998 on a golf course. He was about a foot long the first time I saw him. Fripp Island has two golf courses and Gary lived on Ocean Point. There were ponds everywhere and drainage ditches that carried water and connected them. Gary used to like to spend some of his time in the drainage ditch near our winter home, Sandown Villas, Number 141. Whenever we walked or rode our bicycles, we would stop and look for him. Before too long he would appear, just his nose and eyes at first. When the sun was out at noon, Gary would crawl out of the ditch and sun himself away from other larger alligators or golfers. Before long, we started to make up stories about what a foot long baby alligator did all day. What did he eat? How did he catch it? This story book for our youngest grandchild is the result.
