Newly 80-years-old, Charlotte Lukes recalls the courtship that led to her marriage to Roy Lukes, and the life they lived at the Ridges Range Light. Introduced to the peninsula’s magic by her husband, Roy Lukes, Charlotte has carried on their legacy in many ways since his death in 2016, including through their Peninsula Pulse column, Door to Nature. She has also branched out on her own, becoming one of the county’s most knowledgeable mushroom guides (several are coming up in August at The Ridges, Björklunden and Whitefish Dunes).
