It would really be nice to have an updated version of a Harbour Lights Collector's Guide similar to the book published by Greenbook back in 1998.

Such a reference book wouldn't necessarily have to have current estimated worth in it. It should have all the interesting info like a brief history of the light, a color picture, its location, accessibility, and all the pertinent HL facts regarding year of production, how many produced, variations, retirement date, etc.

Such a book would be a very welcome guide to collectors who are out there searching out missing pieces they need to fill in their collections. It would also inspire people to learn more about the HL products of the past and possibly lead them to buy more of them.

Perhaps a history of Younger & Associates would also be appropriate. They could tell the story of how they got started. They could do a few pages on the HL Reunions, Regionals, Rep Events, Signing Events, etc. This would certainly generate more interest in collecting and attending these events if possible.

The book might possibly contain profiles on the Younger Family and maybe people who work very closely with the company such as our own John Chidester and Paul Brady. I would also like to see a profile on our own "Ancient Mariner", Fred Kuhlman. Fred is a legend in the HL Circle of Friends and has been known to drive cross country to attend HL Events.

Another section of the book could give info about the great clubs and organizations that found their roots through HL collecting and now have become a major force in lighthouse restoration in their own areas.

There are just so many exciting possibilities for this book. It would be an excellent way for Harbour Lights to show where they came from and how they got to where they are now.

"YOU CAN DO IT!"
