Sanibel House Date: 05-16-2007 By: percarpio	Hi all, I did a strange thing a while back. While visiting my in-laws with my family in Naples, FL, I got the notion to pack them all in the rental van and drive to Shep's house in Sanibel. What makes us do these things ? Anyway, it was kind of surreal parking in front of the house on Lady Finger Lake road. It's almost at the end of the island in a secluded neighborhood. It has been extensively renovated since the pix on Flicklives and you can't imagine Shep living there now frankly- very suburbia-looking. The older shots on the site are more what you'd imagine for an older, curmudgeonly character like he was in his last years. There was an eerie character about being there though...	4

05-19-2007 ( Reply#: 1597 )	S C Jones	I honeymooned on Sanibel--the whole marriage was a bit of a fiasco, so I haven't returned. The time was 1969, so Sanibel had not been invaded at that time. A beautiful island, as is Captiva. I hope Shep and his family had the experiences there that were story-worthy. Is Sanibel mentioned in any of his stories? quote: Originally posted by svea3 I am ignorant about Shep's Sanibel connection.
