FALL - 1991:

Darrell and I flew from San Francisco to San Diego for a long weekend. His son, Jerry, knew I liked lighthouses and took us out to Point Loma. On the way back, we stopped off near Coronado to see the America's Cup berth and crew. Right down the street was a little shopping center with a gift shop. They had two lighthouse models, the ORIGINAL Hatteras and Point Loma. Having been to Hatteras several years earlier and loving it, I wanted to buy the piece. Darrell said "it'll be a hassle carrying in back on the plane; I'll find you one when we get back to San Francisco, and you won't have to worry about it breaking!" Well.....I listened to him! and that was the ONLY time I ever held the ORIGINAL Hatteras! (He did follow through and bought me the revised edition - as well as all of the other original 1991 pieces that fall!)...but NOW, if I see one I want, I buy it - and don't worry about transporting it home!
