Stumpy is the one footed gull who has been a returning South End staple since the summer of 2008. Stumpy goes by a variety of names… The Wisdom Bench calls him “Lefty.” Other beach goers refer to him as “Peg” and “Daniel Day Lewis” (“My Left Foot”). My friends and I named him “Stumpy.” The creator of Ralph also created and installed a Christmas Stumpy to give Ralph someone to talk to this winter. —-William Heatley.
