2001 Collectors Family Reunion

Kim Andrews of Harbour Lights asked me to post this:

YIPPEEEEEE! Thanks St. John and thanks especially to Kim.

Great News!! And when they announce the site as being in the Midwest it will be an even better day! Thanks John, Kim & HL.

Dave

Any Time, Anywhere, I'll be there. Since we are probably talking about a year and nine or ten months from now, it seems we have lots of time to plan our trips and makes our reservations. Thanks to Harbour Lights and Y&A for giving us the place to get together again.
Jim
Johnson

Lamar and Jim my exact reaction!

Couldn't agree more. Just hope it is easy to get to since we have to fly/drive no matter where it is. Denver just does not have lighthouses.

What wonderful news!!

Hopefully, all of us who want to go will be able to...

Barb

Thanks for the great news John and Kim. I'll be anxiously waiting for the final outcome.

Wow that is great news to hear. I cant wait to hear the news of where it is going to be. It will be also great to get together with other collectors and friends as it was in Providence back in 1998.
Hal

From a woman of few words-ditto!ditto!ditto!

Well that info answers the question of when the next reunion is. Now the big question is where. Then we can all get the "heebee-geebees" trying to figure out if we will be lucky enough to get a spot.

Bob

Both MJ and I are excited to hear that it will be held in 2001 (that's not really that far away) and we look forward to having the opportunity to see our extended family of Harbour Lights collectors and lighthouse enthusiasts. GREAT NEWS!!

Ron (CT Keeper)

It is very helpful just to know that the year is 2001. We can go on about our plans for the rest of 2000. We are still saving room for REGIONAL EVENTS if and when they occur.

Jake

I'm glad we'll have the time to plan ahead for work & family.

If it's in the San Francisco area I'll move the kids out & offer their rooms to guests. (Is that a bribe???)

I'm from Michigan and would love to have the reunion here, However if it was in San Francisco, and if it included a cruise of all the lights in the bay and a stop at Alcatraz, that would be fantastic.

Not sure on which comes first ...the chicken (location) or the egg(dates)...

Not only where to have the 2001 is important but I would like to block out the date(s) on the long range planner...

(I am still in favor ot GREAT LAKES)

I vote "early" summer (as in early June).

What have the dates been for the past reunions? How many reunions have there been to date and where were they located and WHAT GREAT LIGHTHOUSES were the special reunion pieces?

Terry

Can't wait until HL sets a date and location the suspense is killing me....but you know what they say "CURIOSITY KILLED THE KAT ....BUT SATIFACTION BROUGHT HER BACK" .
I hope it is in the Great Lakes area also but I wouldn't mind if it was down in Florida or possibly around the Chesapeake...or hay even Hawaii...they have several lights in Hawaii. Larry and I are planning our 25th wedding anniversary get-away and Hawaii's got some lights to see.
Anyway....see y'all at the next reunion...it will be a BLAST!!!

Kat

There have been two reunions thus far.

The 1st Reunion (you never forget your first) was held in San Diego in late Summer of 1997. This was a smaller, more intimate gathering that ran from Friday through Sunday morning. We visited Old Point Loma and had special access to the normally closed grounds of New Point Loma lighthouse. The reunion model was New Point Loma (HL#604).

The 2nd Reunion was held in Providence Rhode Island in September 1998. This was a two day non-intimate non-stop affair hi-lighted by boat and bus tours to see many different lights.

The second reunion model was Rose Island. A slightly different version of Rose Island was made available to attendees (HL#614, aka REXA) than the version sold to Society members (HL#616, aka REXM). Attendance was not required to purchase the Society release.

Attendees at each reunion also received a miniature version of the reunion model - these were exclusive to attendees. Both minis are *very* nicely done and the NPL mini (HL#605) is one of the rarest of all HL models. The Rose Island mini is HL#615.

Preference of the spouse and I are September/October with kids in school and Fall colors out.
