6:00 - 7:30 PM    DPLS Quarterly Meeting
Speakers: Kim Fahlen & Karen Scanlon
Co-Authors of new "Images of America" book
Presentation Topic
: "Lighthouses of San Diego"
KIM FAHLEN and her twin sister KAREN SCANLON will be discussing their new book, Lighthouses of San Diego.  Kim, who is an Honorary Member of DPLS, travels throughout the US and Europe studying and photographing lighthouses, with particular interest in their optics.  Karen successfully located a few of San Diego’s former lighthouse-keeper families who have offered very rich firsthand accounts of their lives in lighthouses.

Both Kim and Karen volunteer at Cabrillo National Monument tending to its lighthouse lenses and acting as Docents for tours of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse.

They have both contributed to the journals of Maritime Museum of San Diego and the U.S. Lighthouse Society.  They also assist the U.S. Coast Guard and the Lighthouse Lamp Shop with the care and restoration of lighthouse lenses.

The talented twins will be presenting information from their book, which was published under the series, “Images of America”.  They will discuss Richard Henry Dana’s second voyage and his delight in seeing a lighthouse to guide his ship as he returned to California.  Copies of their book will be available for sale and they would be most happy to personally sign them.   They might be a very enjoyable and educational Christmas gift for your family members or yourself.
