A happy stroll with Dad on the set of Way Out West in 1937. This was considered Stan Laurel's favorite movie. This was a great year and a busy year professionally for Laurel. When not on set he spent all his time with his daughter and on his boat. Lois remembers many joyful times on the family yacht. Lois was 10 years old in this photo.
Lois with the family and her dogs (Lady and her pups) at ages 10 months, 18 months, and 3. These photos are in the backyard of their home in Beverly Hills, 718 North Bedford Drive.
A special thank you to our dear friend, Lois.  She is a true inspiration to us and has helped drive our passion to restore her father's beloved yacht. We feel blessed to have the pleasure to meet such a passionate and beautiful person. There has been nothing more special that has come from owning this yacht then to meet an individual as unique as Lois.
