About Me
- Al
- After retirement, for two summers I worked as a tour guide at the Umpqua River Lighthouse in Oregon. This opportunity enabled me to learn more about that lighthouse than any of the others I've seen. Although I have personally visited and photographed over 300 lighthouses in the United States and three Provinces in Canada, the Umpqua River Lighthouse has special meaning for me. That Lighthouse inspired me to write two fictional books with the characters working, living, and enduring the challenges of lighthouse keeping. All pictures posted in this blog were taken by myself, unless noted otherwise.

Deactivated But Continues as Part of Local History
The Racine North Breakwater Light, built in 1910, is located
at the harbor of Racine, WI. This beautiful red tower stands 46 ft high. The
Coast Guard deactivated the light in 1987 and now it is owned by the City of
Racine. Although deactivated, it continues as part of Racine's history. Note:
