Quincy (not his real name–he doesn’t have one) had heard about all of the jobs in Texas, but they were all in the city–it was still hard times for country boys. It was hard sometimes just to keep his head above water . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Naming contest:  Quincy is an assumed name; his mother left before he was hatched, so he was never given a name.  Please send us your name suggestions for our little guy (he’s about 3 1/2′ and lives in our front yard pond).  One point–we aren’t really sure if Quincy’s a boy or girl–he/she refused to sign the consent form for a more thorough examination. And just because a famous personality may be using a name, doesn’t mean we wouldn’t consider it. The winner will be chosen based on quixotic desire and whimsey, no logic will be employed in the final choice.  The winner will get a copy of my Gulf Coast Photo Tour, which is about 400 photos like those you see in the AGR everyday, but all are from our areas of the Texas Gulf Coast.  To send your name suggestions, just hit reply or send it to [email protected].  AGR now has about 300 regular subscribers.
