Newport and Me: Seymour Beek 2024

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 first hand action of the Beek’s at home, playing in the yard and on the beach, exploring Little Corona’s tide pools, lots of boating & sailing, their “mountain” retreat, the ferry business and so much more.
