Abstract:

Rany Jennette's father, Unaka, was the last keeper of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. He was its principal keeper from 1919 to 1933, when a severe hurricane discouraged the family from staying on. Today at 77, Rany is a summer ranger at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and shares his experiences of growing up at a lighthouse station.
