September 2014 Recap

Dear Bookclub,
We needed no beacon to gather at Lynn T's last Thursday but perhaps the lights should have darkened to kick us out! "The Light Between Oceans" provoked much thought and discussion about the compelling situation of a baby 'found'. We did not let the long debate deter from all other necessary discussion so we just settled in for  - oh - four hours. Jim is such a good sport. Thank you Lynn (& Jim)!

The Lyn(n)(e) Project

We wondered if lighthouses were still in use with GPS and other modern advancements. Yes they are!

Interesting aside; story below about a man restoring the old Graves Island Lighthouse for his family vacation hang-out in the Boston Harbor:
