Sometimes a walk on the breakwater connects you to some history.
I met Steve Macy, who is in the area on a business trip, he decide to come out and visit Eastern Point Lighthouse where his grandfather, Francis Macy was the lighthouse keeper from 1931-1941. Steve’s father lives out on the west coast and hopefully he will see this post. I provided Steve with a GMG Sticker.

Good Morning Gloucester 
My father, Francis Macy was assistant keeper at the light from (date)1924 until 1941 (I was born there in 1928). When the war started, he was made a Chief Bosun’s Mate with the Coast Guard. His first assignment was to cruise Gloucester harbor on the lookout for submarines they thought might try to enter. Thankfully they never found one. Charles Macy

Steve macy is my step brother. Francis Macy was my grand father and Charles as my dad. He passed away about 4 yrs ago. But I heard many stories about the light house and living there. I have visited once and would love to see it again.
