It was a beautiful day for the 12 seniors to travel to Stuart Island.

On Oct. 8, the group arrived on Stuart and was greeted by Linda and Jim Bergquist, Turn Point Lighthouse Preservation Society board members, who drove them to the light station. Jim put up the American flag and gave history of Turn Point while they lunched. Dick Thompson on Orcas organized the trip.

The seniors said they were impressed with the renovation of the oil storage building next to the fog signal building, where the lightkeepers worked. This renovation was done by Jim Bergquist and Bill Benjamin. The lighthouse received a $3,000 grant from  funds received from lighthouse license plate sales.
