Yes we will be there... Sue is originally from Missouri and with all of the Hoosier Lighthousing Club members from St Louis at the events I know we will feel right at home.

Paul, as you are heading out of town on 79 south, just as you are going up the big hill there is a "lovers leap" that should provide a photo op from about 1 mile away, since you and the lighthouse will be on hills you will be overlooking downtown. Also if you notice the flood wall around downtown, if was just finished a few months before the great flood of 93' where the water crested only a few inches from the top of the wall.

We were in St Louis already before I read you post... My Photoshop Program has a problem with it so no images until I get back home...
We spent noon time with Bill, the Mayor of Hannibal and others at the lighthouse where Bill made some presentations and he got the key to the city. It was real overcast but no rain at least and everybody had an enjoyable time... There were two area TV staions coverning the event along with a newspaper photograher and later in town the local radio station sent a reporter over to interview Bill for a daily show he does..

A really big turnout at Jansen's Bill Event.. The Gate Way club joined the Hoosier Lighthousing club members in having a great supper and swapping lighthousing tales at Lewis & Clark's restaurant after the event. I didn't know those guys had time to start up a restaurant while mapping the Louisiana Purchase.... Pictures to be added upon return to Indy..

Paul,
Thanks for the updates, sure wish I could be there with you though. Glad to hear BY and Harbour Lights getting some good publicity. Thanks again.

Want to make a guess as to which connected collector joined the Gold lighthouse club this weekend in St. Louis?

Guess what very gracious collector gave up winning a Gold Mark Twain at the Gifts'n Things event... after her husband had won one early in the day at the Jonnie Brock's event in St. Louis.... Bill Young, Sharnon Bischoff & the Very Gracious Carolyn McBee

Looks like the connected collectors of Harbour Lights might have more gold than Fort Knox! Congrats to the new members of the HL Gold Club! Thanks for the great pics, Paul! Bob

Congrats Carolyn and Roy on the Gold! And thanks for demonstrating some amazing integrity. Most people would have thought of how much they could have sold the extra one for. But then it just seems that the connected collectors here on the forums are a wonderful, special, amazing group of people. Way to go!!

Congrats to Carolyn and Roy. It is nice to see not only a very deserving couple win the gold, but then to share the wealth with another collector is wonderful as well. They are true collector's with a heart of gold! Hello and hurray to the McBee's from Dave and Eileen in Concord, NC!!!!
