Hi Folks. My name is Ron Drummer and I have been visiting these Forums for several years but just never wished to post anything. I am an avid Harbour Lights Collector and also belong to New England Lighthouse Lovers (NELL) as well as the Florida Lighthouse Association, Inc. I enjoy visiting lighthouses to climb and photograph them. My wife, Shirley, and I will be at the HL Reunion in Baltimore and hope to meet some of you there.

The first Harbour Lights piece that I purchased was Great Captain's Island, CT which is near where we live; hence my user name "Captain's Keeper".

Ron,

Let me be the first to say it is great to finally have you here with us! It is always nice to see another NELL and FLA member on the Forums.

Let me welcome you aboard Ron we have a great bunch here.I was planning to be at the reunion but at the last moment was sidelined hope to meet you at the next one, Bill O'Brien alias Oseabee.

Welcome, Ron. Be sure to join us often in the "Latest Models" forum and sound off on your opinion of the new releases. Great Captain Island is one of the nicest of the "original 17."

Hi Ron & Shirley - you might be the 'oldest' HL Collectors who COULD have registered here long long ago, but didn't until now.

Congratulations - and Welcome.

See you in Baltimore!

John

Welcome aboard, Ron. We have some distant relatives that live in Seymour, CT. Their last names were Gaudette and Babineau. Most of the elderly ones have passed away. I haven't heard anything from the others in many a year.

See you in Baltimore!

Bob

Welcome Ron! Glad you are posting with the rest of this great crew! See you in Baltimore!

I must say "WELCOME" to Ron & Shirley. Glad to see you finally joined us on the Forums and I hope that you post here often. MJ and I are looking forward to being at the reunion in Baltimore with you - it will be our third one together, as we originally met Ron & Shirley in San Diego in 1997.

Hi Ron and Shirley,
Welcome to the Collector's Forums.
I am new to the Collector's Forums, too. I can't believe the number of replies I got from my first posting, "Hello." I feel like I know so many people already. I'll be looking for them in Baltimore. Hope to see you there, too. I'll be there with my husband Ron. We are from Cape Coral, Florida. (Formerly Long Island) See you soon. Joan

Welcome to the Forums Ron!

It is always great to see new members come aboard and to get new thoughts and ideas on Harbour Lights. I look forward to your postings.

Welcome!

Hey Ron, this is the other (big)ugly as RIP put it. See you in Baltimore and possible the FLA afterwards in Pensacola. Where in Florida do you spend your time? My first piece was Hillsboro where I grew up.
