To me, the saddest part of the demise of Harbour Light, and by that, I mean the post Younger Harbour Lights, has been and will be the lost connections. A major part of the enjoyment of collecting HL's was not just the piece itself, but everything that went with it. Remember rep events? You'd actually have a pile of collectors come out to a store simply because a HL rep was coming. Then there was the signing events, a chance to see no only Bill, Nancy or Kim, or better yet, all of them. Regional events. Reunions. Not to mention the "thrill of the chase", travelling all over with HL store list in hand, looking for that one rare piece.... It was the chance to again meet up with fellow collectors and catch up.

These things, and all of the folks you met along the way. That WAS Harbour Light collecting. Let's face it, that feeling has been gone for years. Yes, am I disappointed to see the product go? Of course. But more so, I'm disappointed that the good times are gone along with them...
