Thanks so much for posting those, Dan! I am sure it was a terrific day! Where are the pictures of you and Rich?!

Looks like Bill is up to his usual "cake swipe." Check out his fingers on his right hand. Thanks for posting the pictures Daniel. It sure looks like he is enjoying himself.

It was a good turnout for Bill's birthday party and Harbour Lights signing. Bill was his usual self and looking real good. I think the relaxed pace is just what he needed to get back to his old self.

Tony Constantino was also present and was real interested in what the collectors had to say, both positive and negative. I spent about 20 minutes talking to Tony before the signing actually started and enjoyed every minute talking to him. He has some great thoughts on what direction he would like to see HL take and if only half of what he wants to do actually happens HL will be on the upward trend again. I prefer not to get into some of the details as I don't know what is for publication and what is not. I'm sure Tony will be making public a lot of this information in the future.

We had a silent auction on a double digit ELL and had Mike Fogleman took it home with him. The triple digit ELL that was given away with the gold was taken home by a lady I did not know. Hopefully, RIP can provide the name of the winner.

All in all, a good time was had by all. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures and hopefully Daniel or one of the others present and taking pictures will post them for us.

What did the double digit ELL go for?

It went for $65
Not bad, for most of the people there were forum members and
probally all ready had a Double digit.
