which was not only beautiful and exciting but it also continues to
benefit Wood Island Lighthouse. This event was the wedding of Wood
Island Keeper Cliff Trebilcock to Linda Doughty on Wood Island right in

a staunch lighthouse lover, in fact their mutual connection to lighthouses

say the least.
Cliff wore a replica US Lighthouse Service Keeper’s uniform, which they
had made for the occasion - A dashing couple and special friends to Wood
Island Light. They returned to the mainland as Mr. and Mrs. Cliff
Trebilcock.
The wedding
continues to help F.O.W.I.L. out with its educational program because
Cliff comes to the island in his USLHS Keeper’s uniform when a special
splash is needed for an event and Linda has joined Cliff in
participating in many work days as well as educational events. We thank
this couple for their love of Wood Island Lighthouse. |
