Locals and tourists alike pass Nobska Lighthouse in Woods Hole every day. We take comfort in Nobska’s beauty and powerful fourth-order beam.

He worked for various major companies on the Redstone (first space mission) and Jupiter missiles, Sparrow and Hawk missiles, Missile Master Air Defense System Nike missiles, and worked in R&D on the first printed circuit boards and first computer. He holds six company level patents, two personal US patents pending, and has published two books. A U.S. Air Force Korean war veteran, Ben was a proud member of the famed Eddie Rickenbacker 94th Hat in the ring Fighter Interceptor Squadron. Ben has lived on Cape Cod since 1999.
