Gregory Great portrait. Does Mr. Lewis still live in Mobile? I wonder what he makes of his past. Somehow I can see his ancestors' pain in his eyes.

David Rencher Yes he lives in Mobile and is a very upbeat and cheerful guy. He takes great pride in the History of the Mobile area and is active in its preservation.. I got to meet him while we were doing research on the "Goat Man". a kind of local Mardi Gras legend

Fantastic shot, and history, David! "Goat Man?" Is this the same guy that lived on "Goat Island?"
