"Wilbert, The Island Pig"


We had heard about him.  We had read the book about him.  We met the author last year on Damon's birthday when she came to a friend's home to read to the children and give them all a signed copy and a doll she had made.  But we had never met "Wilbert" until we recently made a trip out to the infamous beach.  He is as big as the rumors claim he is.  And not as cute as the book portrays him to be.  I guess getting older takes its toll on all of us!
