CAPE MAY – Each day, Gerry Benjes, 87, climbs the 199 steps to the top of 157-foot tall Cape May lighthouse to tell visitors about the history of the town and structure. Benjes has worked at the lighthouse since it opened in 1988. “That is about as high as you can go,” says Benjes.” I’m trying to do it for 25 years.”
