How is this for news?

Whoopi !! Open the champagne.
The long fought battle on who should get ownership of North Carolina's Currituck Beach Lighthouse has been won!!
The Outer Banks Conservationists (OBC) have officially been awarded ownership of the Curritick Beach Lighthouse! They are to be congratulated for not only winning ownership of the lighthouse but also, for never giving up the battle!
In his statement Craig Manson stated, "Today, I have determined that the Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc. of Manteo, NC, should have ownership of the historic Currituck Beach Lighthouse".
We are proud of the role that the American Lighthouse Foundation and it's members played with telegrams, phone calls and emails to keep the pressure on. But, most of all, we are happy for OBC and their members and volunteers who worked so long and so hard to keep the Currituck Lighthouse, "the Peoples Lighthouse." We wish them continued future success.

President
