Bill Younger was at Special Effects in Dallas, Saturday, October 5th. The turnout was pretty good. He signed lots of HL’s and told lots of stories about lighthouses in his short two hours visit.

He did say HL is working on another version of SE Light. This will be SE Light on the Move. Hope this one comes out soon. Bill was his usually jovial self and we certainly enjoyed listening to his many stories. He did fail to pull our name for the “Gold”. frown frown Maybe next year.

Bill with Debbie and Dan Harper, owners of Special Effects.


A dedicated collector with lots of Harbour Lights for Bill to sign.

Did you bring up the question of whether they where going to get the windows and doors correct this time, on the SE light?

No, we didn't get around to asking him about the "duplex" setup on SE Light. A good question for the Winter Regional. smile

Hey Tom & Joyce, ...I was glad to see you kids had your Wacko badges on. Lorna & I wore ours to the Bill Event in Wells, Maine a couple of weeks back. We were the only ones there with badges.

Southeast Block on the move? Very interesting...but I wish they would do the North Light at Block Island first.

Not the Gold Eddystone. That was in Houston on Sunday. Bill was in Dallas Saturday morning and Austin Saturday afternoon. The gold piece in Dallas was the Mark Twain Light.

Bob, We were also the only badge-wearing WACKOs at the Dallas signing. Actually it was the badge that brought up the topic of SE Light on the Move.
