Another fond remembrance for the “Grand Old Man of Tillamook Rock” in 1920 was racing the “car” (service cart) around “Broadway” (the 12 foot-wide walkway encircling the lighthouse.) At a “pit-stop,” Keeper Walter T. Lawrence is shown with telescope in hand to spot the problem while Howard Hansen is scratching his head in puzzlement and Orlo Hayward is oiling the “steering wheel.” (Courtesy Columbia River Maritime Museum) Back to the edition of: Jul/Aug 2018
