Originally had plans to return to the Gulf/Pier for spring break with the family, but because of my brothers diagnosis of cancer we wound up moving our trip back to what would have been this week, maybe even being able to take in the Pier Picnic. Eventually we realized our return trip to Alabama was not going to happen this year. As it turn out, the tough bugger held on until yesterday.....glad we could all be there for him. I can't believe he's gone, the only reason I decided to mention this on the forum was that he would have absolutely F***ing loved the Pier!
