Hooper Strait MD - Reunion Exclusive

If you called, you know you had a chance to order up to 2 of the Reunion Exclusive Hooper Strait lighthouses for each registered individual in your party @ $85.

You also heard that each registered individual would receive a 'gift' miniature size of the Hooper Strait. The miniature will be numbered and the number you receive will be based on the registration order for the call-ins on Saturday. Pre-registered club members will have higher numbers.

If you ordered the full size Reunion Exclusive, you will receive matching numbers for the number of miniatures you are due to receive. For example, if you have two in your party and ordered 4 full size pieces, two of your full-size pieces will match the numbers of your miniatures and the other 2 will be higher numbers. If you have two in your party and only ordered one full size piece, then your one full size piece will match the number of one of your miniatures. The second miniature you receive will be the next consecutive number. The full size one that matches your miniature (that you didn't order) will end up being someone else's full size one (who ordered more than the number of registrants).

If you chose to order less than the number of full size pieces you were entitled to order, you can place an order for the 'rest' up until March 28, 2001.

As described when you registered, the Reunion Exclusive version will be significantly different than the version that Society members will be permitted to order (one per member) during a one-month window in 2001. Among the differences - the Reunion version will picture Hooper Strait in the water while the Society Version will picture it at the museum.

10/16/2000 I've corrected the explanation of the numbering for the miniatures. All the miniatures you receive will be consecutively numbered based on the individuals in your party and the time you registered on October 14 or later.

If you order more full size Reunion Exclusives than there are miniatures in your party, you will receive higher numbered pieces after first matching the numbers of the miniatures. If you order fewer full size pieces than your group will receive in miniatures, then someone who ordered more extras than miniatures will receive those pieces. (Clear?)

After all the excitement about the reunion registration, Tim decided to unveil his latest invention - The Way Back Machine, a time travel device, So we thought we would travel to the middle of next years reunion in Baltimore, We met up with the group at the Hooper Strait lighthouse and were able to get pictures of Paul in the famous Brady pose, in front of a lighthouse with a model of the lighthouse in hand. Paul is seen here with both versions of the hooper Strait REXA and the REXM, you'll notice that one is depicted with it on land with grass around the base and the other is depicted at it's original location in the Chesapeake Bay. I got to hand it to Tim, some of these crackpot ideas actually work! We did experience a little trouble at first, like getting Paul, Tim and myself into an AT&T phone booth, and then on the first 6 tries we just ended up in different places in the FSB's yard. but Tim quickly located the problem, so I stood in the Way Back Machine's bathroom and jiggled the handle on the fuel tank as we traveled. After that everything worked just fine.
Here's the photographic history, a look in to the future.

Hey Mark, ...You DA MAN! I've got to give you "two thumbs up" for that picture and post!

Bob

Did Paul really lose weight in the future in the "way back machine", Mr. Peabody?
