Very detailed
Good information. I love lighthouses.
Everything you didn't know that you needed to know about Lighthouses and the folks who cared for them. Great webinar.
Thank you! Love Lighthouses and this was so informative. Peggy always makes her talks so interesting.
Very interesting. My great grandfather, Charles Morrison, was a lighthouse keeper on Amet Island, Nova Scotia.
I enjoyed listening to this presentation about the history of lighthouses in the USA and seeing all of the photos/resources as well as all the resources/web pages, etc. that will give me more information. Thank you so much for your webinar and all the useful information.
Any webinar that gives the viewer a kazillion new rabbit holes is definitely a webinar worth watching. =)
I loved this webinar. Family lore states that an ancester on my maternal side was Kepper of the Light on the Isle of Man. I have yet to find him.
