Fire Island Lighthouse

Today, we parked at Robert Moses parking lot #5 and walked over to the Fire Island Lighthouse. One-hundred-eighty-two steps later my wife, mother and I made it to the top to snap some photos and record a video.

Wynne M. Trenholme at 96

August 2010: My lifelong neighbor, Wynne, came over tonight. He'll be 96 years old next week. He still drives everyday and lives by himself. Wynne's memory is as sharp as ever as he talks about his service in the Merchant Marines during WW II and the early days of computers.
