ISLE DAUPHINE CLUB - SHOEBOX STORIES
Every old photo has a story. What’s in your shoebox?
Let’s step back in time for a little while… ❤️
Back to the good old days at the Isle Dauphine Club, when our parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents gathered here to swim, golf, dine, dance, celebrate and simply enjoy life on the island.
Maybe you worked here yourself. Were you ever a lifeguard at the pool? Did you work at the golf course or in the restaurant? Did you learn to swim here?
Maybe your parents dressed up for one of those fabulous parties at the Club. Maybe there was a first date, a wedding, an anniversary or simply an ordinary summer afternoon that became one of those memories you never forgot.
We want to see your pictures, but even more importantly, we want to hear the stories behind them!
Start digging through those old shoeboxes, closets, attics and family albums. Don’t worry if the photos are faded, or less than perfect. Sometimes the smallest detail in the background, like a piece of furniture, a light fixture, the old restaurant, the pool, or even the clothes people were wearing, can give us an incredible glimpse into the past!
When you find something, share your photo in the comments below and tell us the story that goes with it. Who’s in the picture? About what year was it? What was happening that day? What do you remember?
If we can, let’s keep the photos and their stories right here under this original post so that together they become one wonderful collection of memories. Think of it almost like a little community time capsule we can all look through, add to and enjoy.
As we look toward breathing new life into this nearly 70-year-old iconic piece of Dauphin Island history, what better way to help us get it right than to remember what made it so special in the first place?
So dust off those old albums, call your family members and friends and take a little trip with us back to the good old days.
Share the picture. Tell us who was there. Tell us what you remember. Tell us the story. ❤️
These old walls have witnessed nearly 70 years of life, laughter and memories. Since they can’t tell us their stories, we hope you will❣️
