From the Crooked River Lighthouse
I want to give a shout out to our fabulous volunteer, Don Rider,
who has been working away for several days now to get our lens
turning again. Electricity is wonderful, except when you are trying
to figure out why it is not working! Thank you so much Don for
your hard work and determination, even in the heat we have had
lately.
You
are
our
lighthouse
hero!
We also want to thank William Massey for his help in keeping the
light burning. Also, thanks to the City of Carrabelle for mowing and
other maintenance. Together we make a great lighthouse team.
