Friends have contacted us - and the Ledge Light Foundation - with photos.
Having a little extra time these days, they each brought out images from 'back in the day', when they served in the USCG on our local lighthouses.
Rick Bonanno,
above and at left,
served on 'the Ledge' from 1959-1960. A selection of his photos already are on view at Ledge Lighthouse. But last week, he came upon some more, which he shared with LLF president Bruce Buckley.
Gari Auretta's pictures,
top right and photo of lens below,
were taken while he was stationed on the Race between 1966 and 1967. We also have a video of Gari telling about his living out at Race Rock, when he visited the Custom House last fall.
Visit our lighthouses facebook pages to see more photos!
