We'll See, Next Weekend

I understand that Bill will be presenting Connie Small with a special gift at her 100th Birthday Celebration next weekend, June 2nd. Since Connie and her late husband kept the Porsmouth Harbor lighthouse, and the celebration will be in Portsmouth, NH, it is a good bet that we may see this lighthouse as part of the Harbour Lights Collection very soon.

100th birthday! What an accomplishment!...and what a nice gift a Portsmouth Harbor Harbour Light would be!
It would be such a great lighthouse for Harbour Lights to make! Do you think it would include parts of Fort Constitution with it? I guess we'll see, as you said.
I just saw this one by land and water two weeks ago today. See here for more of the lighthouse visit and pictures: http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/forums/Forum15/HTML/000272.html

I agree that the Portsmouth Harbor LH would be nice to have in the collection. Mind you this is only speculation on my part based on reading between the lines when Nancy mentioned (last weekend on Cape Cod)that Bill would be in Portsmouth to celebrate Connie's 100th Birthday and would be giving her a "special" gift.

Thanks for the links to the websites of pictures and information. I'll bet you had a great time in NH and we are looking forward to the same this coming weekend. I hope it's not raining.

I'll let you know if the "special" gift is what is speculated, as soon as Connie opens her present from Bill.

The Portsmouth Harbor lighthouse will be pre-released at the American Lighthouse Foundation Spring Event to be held this Saturday, June 2nd in Portsmouth, NH.

Well this is great news, Mike! Only one thought, wouldn't it be even neater if they were signed by Connie?

That is a great offer but I'll wait until my reserve number comes through from my dealer. There is only so much room for storage of HL's at my home. One of these days I must pull out some of the duplicate lights I have and offer them on the Market Place. I try not to buy duplicates but sometimes I see a number with a meaning to me and I can't resist.

I'm in the same boat with Bob.

Me 4, Sean and Paul. I've decided to install built-in shelves with crown molding in the new house which will line the perimeter of my home study. Figure I'll put some HLs there. Portsmouth Harbor will be a very nice addition!
