Lighthouse Legacy Vol 7 #2 Arrives

Well, my wife's copy of the Lighthouse Legacy arrived today. Among the highlights:


[*]Jaker's photo of Split Rock on the Cover

[*]Teen Corner, featuring our own Jakers - one photo even shows him with Bill, Paul & I at Rosemont 99

[*]Nice story on Rich Rohweder's display of his collection at College of the Redwoods -- with photos of the display.

[*]Letter to the editor from one Dave Hannum wondering how Harbour Lights chooses which lighthouse to sculpt and how long it takes. [sounds like a shill to me DaveH; who put you up to that question?]

[*]Photo of Brian Seltzer's son Matthew at 13 months

[*]Unlabeled mini photos of 6 new Harbour Lights sculptures. One is Mombo's Choice Sister Island NY. I'll let you all receive your Legacy newsletters and ID the others.

[*]Story on the 'latest' features at www.HarbourLights.com

Oh, and this 'Stephen Sostaric' surely must win a prize for mentions on the greatest number of on the most pages in a Harbour Lights newsletter (to a non Younger).

Did I miss any Jakers? And is that Highland Indiana, or Highland Illinois?

Jakers will be signing Lighthouse Legacy's at Rosemont. Don't forget your Sharpie, Stephen.

Okay Jakers, if the mule train gets the new Legacy that you dominate, I'll bring it to Rosemont for you to sign.

Derith

Let me see....if John just got his, I should receive mine around July 4. Maybe we can convince HL to use Pony Express instead of Wagon Train to get the papers out to the east coast sooner... lol !

Bob

Well, now the clock starts to see how long it takes this issue to arrive. I waited a month the last two times and had to call HL to get another one sent. Never did see the original mailing. Time will tell.

John,
Sounds like a set up from your request for things for the FAQ page. When the lady who does the writing e-mailed me for city & state I didn't figure what "question" she was refering to & told her it must have been someone else in the forums who sent the message. lol.

Jim, did you pay to renew your membership? Maybe the mailman is starting his own collection.

Dave

Lighthouse What? You mean they really do send those out to members?

Dave, Yes membership is paid in full. Stacey and I are on a first name basis we talked so much about what was happening to them. We will see this time.

Hey Dave, Your picture is in this Legacy too.
On page 5 under Fun and Games. Third photo down, left hand side, way in the back. The same photo was posted by Paul last month on the forums.

Now for those who don't get their Legacy or are getting them late. It was suggested on one of the chats that they increase membership by $5.00 and send them 1st class. If you belong to GLLKA that is an option that they have with their membership. Maybe Harbour Lights can do the same.
Now you can go ahead and blame the Post Office if you like, but please don't blame your carrier. If we don't have it, we can't deliver it. The letter carriers job is the only job in the post office that is not sub-contracted. I believe it's because no sane person wants to do it.

Cheryl

I would not complain at the increase of $5 to move the magazazine to first class. I still have have yet to receive the new edition, us poor people on the East Coast which reminds me the next chat begins at 10PM eastern--ouch!!!!

Tim H

My Lighthouse Legacy arrived here in New Jersey on the 12th, same day that John's wife got hers in Arizona. Go figure.

Mike

Tim H... regarding the 10:00 p.m. chat; I believe it is scheduled that way so the west coasters can have at least some time after work and the dinner hour to get online and join in. The other weekly time (9:00 p.m.) is more suited for us east coasters. Everyone else in between gets to pick and choose. I appreciate John C., and the folks with HL who want to be fair with everyone... even those of us who live in the "eastern correct" time zone. Just kidding! Now... about the Legacy. I have no explanation as to why some receive it faster than others. Could it be that HL ships out according to society number?

Tim - Keeping the flame lit...

Don't think so Tim. I'm a charter member and still haven't gotten mine, and I'm even in it.

Which reminds me; sorry John. I sent a copy of the pictures to Kim and gave a set to Paul Brady at Hatteras. Still haven't figured out my scanner. I'm ashamed at my lack of computer capabilities. But I will continue to collect HL's anyway.

Rich

------------------

Rich, Just ask a kid!

tic, Dave

Maybe the labels get printed alphabetically and that causes a delay in some Legacys?

Joanne

More likely by zip code for pre-sorting. But I agree the distribution does seem somewhat, uh, randomized.

If ABC order was the way it was done, I would have mine by now...Bennett...have not seen it yet. Maybe today.
Derith

The newsletter goes out by Bulk Mail (Third Class). It is probably zip sorted since that will mean it can be mailed at a lower rate than non-zip sorted.

But third class is third class. I believe I have it correct that it supposed to be 'worked' within 5 days of receipt by any post office along the way. Depending on how the mail is routed, it could be held up at several post offices.

It is all dropped in San Diego on the same or two consecutive days.

Any postal people here who can confirm or correct this?

It's the 17th and after the reviews I have read I am now getting eager to see the issue.

have we figured out the distribution status or the referendum to first class mailings?

Just asking,
TimH

John-

My mom (the postal person you were looking for) said that you were correct.

Jakers

Glad to see I am not the only one that hasn't received their Legacy yet.

Rusty

I'm still waiting for my Leagcy, SW Reef, and Boca Grande pieces. Hope they come this week.

John

Don't feel bad guys, I'm in Northern California and (as of this a.m.) there's no Legacy here either...

It made it to upstate NY today. Nice issue!

No Legacy yet in Orlando, FL.

Joanne

My husband told me I had a couple pieces of mail when I got home. What a joy to see that the Legacy was among the pieces. I sat right down and read it from cover to cover.

Jakers, do you have your Sharpies ready for signing at Rosemont? I am putting my issue in the suitcase.

The picture of Donna brought back memories of a mini Wacko reunion we had in NY last year. Good memories.

Now, I am waiting for my society pieces. And waiting and waiting and waiting....

Much to my dissatisfaction as I arrived home from the office, opened my mailbox and discovered... NO LEGACY IN CHARLOTTE, NC YET! Okay, okay... I'm cool. Just keep saying to myself... "purveyor of patience... connoisseur of calm... yada, yada, yada!"

Tim - Keeping the flame lit...

I received my Legacy in Wisconsin today! Great article about Jakers! Great picture on the cover too!

Patience Tim... patience.
I received mine today in Columbia, SC, so it should'nt be long for you Tim.

Still have yet to receive the Legacy...

Tim H

Rock - You can't kid me. Livermore is Central California. Eureka is Northern California. Not that the latest legacy has appeared any faster here.

Rich

------------------

Got mine here in TEXAS about a week ago

I got mine today!

Jakers

I like this one!

Got mine yesterday here in Georgia! Always fun to receive the Legacy.

Rusty

Hey Stephen. I won't be at Rosemont so if I send you my copy will you sign it for me? I will display it in a place of honor right next to my Jeff Gordon autographed photo.

A week ago Jul???? I'm 15 miles away, and just got mine on Saturday. You must pay your P.O. workers better then I do!

Got mine in Alabama today. Can't wait to see a color photo of the Xmas piece. Got a feeling that the black and white on the order form doesn't do it justice.

Still waiting here in Michigan. Will probably see it next month.

------------------
Jim

Dr. Who ?

'still waiting for mine, here in Virginia. Maybe the pony broke his leg coming over the Blue Ridge Mountains......

Legacy arrived today...even two copies!!!

ROCK...want the spouse copy?

drwhok9...hang on, you are next in MICHIGAN!

Sorry Brent, I received mine in No Va today. Maybe the C&O Canal route saved some time.

Tim H

Jakers, I hope you or Mo bring some extra copies to Rosemont. Still no sight of a Legacy here.

Dave

Received mine today.

You know what, brighteyes, it would probably get here before my legitimate one will! Out of fairness to HL, I don't mind...my society pieces usually arrive pretty fast here in NoCal...I don't mind waiting for the Legacy...

De gator pullin' de mail pirogue brought mine yesterday.

Hi Torchbearer, Mine arrived on the 20th so if hasn`t made it yet...well...hey man its sure to be there soon.


Terry(20 minutes up the highway)Barfield

It's HERE!! Finally! A very nice issue, too.......

Thanks Terry... and what do you know?! It finally arrived today. HALLELUJAH!!!

Tim - Keeping the flame lit...

Still nothing here.

Rich

Hi!

Got back from Maine a week ago, and my Lighthouse Legacy was waiting! Made my day!

Kay

That Legacy train just arrived in Jacksonville. Got my copy today and immediately sat down to read it. As usual the contents are great. Always worth waiting for,just hard to hear everyone else talking about it for ten days or so. The last two issues I never did receive. HL, of course, sent additional copies. I think the mailman likes them as much as I do.

Yay! Legacy arrived in northern (er, central) California! Even though it's small and in black & white, the brief shot of Hereford Inlet Xmas piece already has me drooling! The detailed front porch looks awesome!

I received my SW Reef and Lighthouse Legacy late last week. I'm still awaiting Boca Grande, but it should be here soon. The Legacy was a good read, especially the piece on the couple who made their own lighthouse out of that block of wood.
