The Lighthouse Keeper's Son shares a chronological collection of
several short stories recalling author Dallas E. Quidley Jr.'s life
as the son of a lighthouse keeper. With modern marine safety
technology, the lighthouse way of life has slipped away, even
though many lighthouses still stand and are open to the public.
Recalling his personal experiences, Quidley reveals various aspects
of life as a lighthouse keeper.
The US Lighthouse Service and the US Coast Guard have
historically been foremost in safe marine navigation. The keepers
were highly qualified and dedicated mariners-people who were truly
the salt of the earth. In Quidley's family, three generations plus
one son tried to live up to that reputation. This collection of
personal narratives offers exciting stories of Quidley's life
before and after his time in the lighthouses with his family.
Through these stories of events and people, a portrait of a
strong, hardworking, Christian and family man emerges. The
Lighthouse Keeper's Son chronicles a life well-lived and the
cherished memories of a man who has experienced his life to the
fullest.
