Brandon Saiz at Minot Light

Son-in-law, Brandon Saiz, recently spent one week in the South Boston area on the 175-foot Coast Guard buoy tender Abbie Burgess. They were there to conduct an archaeological survey of the original light built in the late 1840s. Brandon had a great trip and was interviewed for a talk radio show. Below are links to articles with photos and the interview. Brandon is about 1/3 the way into the show. But stay on because more personnel are interviewed and you can learn more about what they were doing. Just fast-forward the commercials!
