He built the clapboard bungalow where him and his son nested while maintaining the white brick beacon. He inhabited there from the time the lighthouse stood a mere sixty-five feet through when his infatuation attained one hundred feet. He was as intrigued with the structure as he was with his own offspring. He dolefully passed on his eighty-seventh birthday. Determined, his son recreated their quarters into turn-of-the century style, by integrating decor and fixtures that provided a sense of this period of time in Key West. All three of us were compelled to purchase several maps and historic lighthouse artifacts that would further acquaint us with these two brave souls. The five of us advanced out on the verandah, listening to the echoing stories from the mouths of the distinguished boy and his father. The connection felt whole once again.
