Evening Lecture & Film: Newport & Me - Seymour Beek
Video history film featuring the life and times of our friend and neighbor Seymour Beek. Learn about Seymour's ancestry, how and where his parents met, and the development of Balboa Island, Harbor Island, and "Beek-un" Bay. We'll travel through his school years, swimming at NHHS and Pomona College, working years at Ford, retirement, and taking on the Balboa Island Ferry business. Wonderfully preserved home-movies will show you firsthand action of the Beek's at home, playing in the year, and on the beach, exploring Little Corona's tide pools, lots of boating and sailing, their "mountain" retreat, the ferry business, and so much more.
