Gary R. Mormino first stumbled upon Ybor City in August 1977. He fell in love with the most fascinating ethnic community he had ever seen. He sat out to write a book about the enclave and began lugging a tape recorder and looking for elderly tabaqueros. In those days, the mutual aid societies were open and filled with elderly cigar makers sipping cafe con leche and shuffling dominos. He has interviewed at least 100 Tampeños y Tampeñas and looks forward to sharing tales and old photographs of the immigrant world of Ybor City.
