My Charmed Childhood A Memoir for My Children, Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren. My memories of growing up on the shores of Lake Michigan during the Great Depression and the years just before World War II. My father and my grandfather were career lightkeepers. Together we lived in both the Grosse Point Lighthouse and the Michigan City Lighthouse-places of sweeping searchlights, crashing waves, and quiet family nights inside thick brick walls. These are the stories I want my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to keep: simple days, hard times, and the steady glow of love that guided us through them all.
