Hi Everyone!
After years of waiting, my dream has finally come true! There will be a release of the Saginaw River Rear Range Lighthouse.
There have been rumors over the years. Talk about a dispute of how it should be painted (current white vs. natural brick style it once was), but now it is a reality.
I have not purchased a Harbour Light in a few years, but I will be getting this one.
I hope all of my Harbour Light friends are doing well. I know I have been here in quite some time, but I still think about the good 'ole days and the fun I used to have on these forums. Glad to see that they are still here and being used.

Good to hear from you, Todd.
When I saw the Saginaw River Rear Range light on the lighthousedepot.com website, I thought of you immediately!
Perserverance pays! You've finally gotten your wish. Enjoy!
And tell all your friends in the tri-city area to buy one! Harbour Lights and local dealers need the income!

I think the Saginaw River Marine Historical Society is planning a mass purchase!

Congratulations, Todd, are you guys able to give tours yet? When I shoot it for the website I will fire off a couple of prints and send them to you.
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Paul, to the best of my knowledge, the SRMHS is still not even being allowed to go out there for any maintenence, lawn mowing, etc..
The group used to have its family picnic out there every May, but now it is held an alternate location.
I have not had time to attend many meetings lately, so I am a little out of the loop, but I will see what I can find out

Also looking forward to Paul's pictures. Went into LHD website. They used to have great pictures you could increase the magnification-not any more. Paul's pics brings-out the details of the sculpture. Get 'er dun, Paul.

Holy Cow! Could somebody please explain to me why this piece is listed for $120.00. If this is the future of Harbour Light prices well I guess I will be saving a lot of money from now on. Sure it is a nice piece but I don't think it justifies this kind of price.

Even if Todd gets a big cut? (Just kidding.) Since the piece isn't in the country yet, I guess we'll have to wait until the container arrives in Maine and shipments reach dealers so we can visit our local dealer and look and touch.
