Ron!!! Yikes! Did you get a signed release to post this photo?...because I don't remember signing one. Models make money for posing in pictures you know. LOL! ------------------ KRISTIN ERIN SCROOPE kristin@scroope.net http://www.scroope.net/lighthouses/lhlist.htm

Ron,
Great photos. Wish I could have been there for the meeting.
It would have been great to finally meet some of those Wackos and talk to Wayne Wheeler and Shirin Weiss again.
I met her last month at the NJLHS Meeting and tried to talk her into volunteering at both Sandy Hook and Lighthouse Challenge 2001. She said she'd have to think about it.
There's just one question I have left-does the Sister Island come with Sue's autograph?

Dennis,
Looks like you did a good job of trying to convince me. I went last week to the volunteer training at Sandy Hook and I've already signed up to help at the Lighthouse Challenge weekend! I just couldn't resist the call for volunteers.

Tim,
Thanks for pointing out that I was sleeping in that pic of Ron's. Perhaps I need to talk to Kristin's attorney as well!

Shirin,
Great! Glad you're aboard. I hope we can work together at the Hook sometime.
I just started a new job and i work on Saturdays, so I'll only be at the Lighthouse on some Sundays this year.
One of the Wackos on the Forums will be at Sandy Hook on the 21st. I'll be there on the 22nd. Now maybe she'll have someone from the list to meet as well as seeing a great Lighthouse.

Welcome Shirin! Good to see I'm not "the last one" to get involved with this Forum. I was going to challenge you to a race to see who gets to wacko status first, but since you were caught "sleeping" in that one picture, I didn't want to be taking advantage. LOL! No, I'm just kidding. My eyes were all over the place in some (if not all) of those photos too!

Dave and Stephen, Your Harbour Lights were mailed yesterday. Sorry Dave, I thought about mailing SI to Sue for an autograph but it was just too much in to little time. You'll have to bring it to the Reunion! - the Raffle Committee

Bob,
No problem. I was just thinking it would be the icing on the cake. I'm happy to accept it just as it is.
I've got a spot cleared in my Cabinet for it.
