In Cracker’s Crumbs, writer Gib Bergquist (1924-2006) reveals a wealth of insight into life as it was lived in Florida during the Great Depression and throws in a few razor-edged observations about today’s world.
   The following links represent only a small sampling of the delightful Cracker tales you’ll find in Cracker’s Crumbs, a collection of tales from our good friend, Gib, who wrote the stories for his newspaper columns during a period of several years serving as a weekly columnist for the Anna Maria Islander. I'm pleased and proud to have served as editor for Gib’s original newspaper columns and for his book, and to have been his friend. Although he is now gone from our daily lives, he still lives in the hearts of those who loved him.
