When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Wednesday, April 6, 2011, between 7:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

I lost the camera while walking on the beach at Gulf Shores, Ala. I started walking at about 7:30 at 1964 Beach Blvd. and walked west one mile then turned around and walked back. I had the camera in my sweater pocket and it must have fallen out. The last couple of photos I took were of pelicans floating on the water and some birds flying above the water.

My son bought the camera for me and the most important pictures on it are photos of him being sworn into the Marine Corps about one month ago.

Lessons Learned

  • I will put my name and number on the camera and hold onto it better.
