Aunt Marion Hemphill and Fred Seaver at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse in San Diego in 1982 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #920

 This is a priceless (to me) image in my computer file folders from the Seaver family collection:


This photograph was taken in the summer of 1982 at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse within the Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma in San Diego, California.

My father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) is the man on the right in the photograph.  His sister, Marion Frances (Seaver) (Braithwaite) Hemphill (1901-2000) is the woman on the left in the photograph.  

I think I took this photograph -- Linda and I went with my parents and Marion to the Lighthouse and the Cabrillo National Monument on the top of Point Loma.  My parents, Fred and Betty (Carringer) Seaver are inurned at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery not far from the site of this photograph.  

Aunt Marion was the oldest of my father's siblings, and visited San Diego several times after 1970 to visit her brother and our family.  My father had prostate surgery in early 1982 and was recovering from that at the time of this photo. 

I requested MyHeritage to enhance and colorize this photograph (i8t was a color photograph but yellowed a bit over time. 

This event is part of my family history!!
