Congradulations! Yep, it's addictive. When you get a second mortgage to support your habit, then you know you are in way too deep!! But did that stop me...NO WAY

Larry,

It is a bunch a fun. The hunt seems to be the best. I remember the real bug hit me when I found two Boston Harbors (HL117's) a year ago still in the box at a store at retail. Just something about it that drives you to keep searching.

Happy Hunting

Rusty

Yes, congratulations are in order. We're all hopelessly obsessed about HL's around here.

Congratulations on your first HL collecting anniversary! We started a little over 2 years ago and collected over 80 in the first 3 months. We compiled a 4-county list of the HL dealers and used up our weekend time visiting those dealers. Guess you'd call that an addiction for sure!

Congratulations Larry and Kathy!!!!!

I'm sure that Kathy knows that she created a monster when she bought you that first one, but that is how wackos are born.

Have a great birthday on Sunday.

Larry-
Congrats on your 1 st anniversery and Happy Birthday. One of my best "finds" was your local Holland Harbor Light. I found it in a back-woods little town shop that was not on my list as a HL dealer list. (Flag # 350)
By the way I'm passing though your area in May on a L/H viewing trip. If you have any tips on seeing L/H's in the area let me know.
Again, Have a special day Sunday.
