SECRETARY’S COMMENTARY


After the meeting adjourned, Dick Jones gave an excellent presentation on lighthouses.  This is a hobby with Dick and he has spent
much time visiting lighthouses, photographing
them and learning about their history.  He had an  interesting annecdote for each slide and gave a thoroughly enjoyable
presentation.
