I SPEAK:
The Team
Kay and Gary Gilpin are residents of Gulf Shores, having moved down from Atlanta in 2004. Actually Kay came first in 2002 and when Gary could not drag her away from Gulf Shores even for weekends, he sold he business and their home in Atlanta and joined her, first at the Beach Club and later in their home on the north shore of Little Lagoon. Along with their two labs, Bubba and Zucca, they enjoy the wonderful joy of living and working in paradise with longs views of the Lagoon and across west beach to the gulf. They both love to fish and Gary is an avid if not proficient golfer and both hope actually to find time sometime to enjoy those pastimes.. For now, at least, the views are good.
