The first place winner is St. George Reef, CA. Second place in the voting goes to St. Marks, FL. The second place winner will be the nominee for the Wacko 2001 Pin in the case where we can’t get the necessary permissions in a timely fashion, an unlikely but possible occurrence.

Do Wacko’s want a 2001 Pin? I ask because there were not many total votes recorded. Does this reflect a lack of interest?

The excitement seemed lots higher for the 2000 pin than for this one. We placed the pin order with the manufacturer before we took orders from Wackos, confident that we would sell enough to AT LEAST pay for the cost of the pins, and we did.

The minimum order we can place with the manufacturer is for 150 pins. The committee does not have any ‘seed money’ to cover the eventuality where we order pins then cannot sell enough to cover the costs. I’ve already sent $1,142.81 (the receipts minus expenses from pins sold to that date) to Save The Light. When all pins are sold, Save The Light will be the recipient of about $1,200.

The committee needs to know if there is enough sustained interest to continue this project for another year. Are we committed enough to lighthouse preservation to each personally carry out this monetary responsibility and expenditure again this year to raise such funds via a pin? Do you Wackos feel this is a worthy project?


I don’t know of an alternative method but to ask each Wacko who wants to participate in this project by purchasing one or two pins at $15.00 each to email me ( Lamar@gs.verio.net ) a FIRM commitment to do so. No money, just your intentions. Please indicate also if you’re wanting one or two. We don’t have a design yet of course since the voting was just completed.

In addition, I would value any comments you may wish to make. Your comments will be held in strict confidence. Your comments will not be posted in the Fora or otherwise be made public.

So, what’s it going to be? Do you all want another Wacko Pin to help an endangered lighthouse?

Let me put it plainly (as I see it): without the lighthouse there would be no Harbour Lights. Yes, I like the sculptures but they are simply a "graven image" of my true love...lighthouses. Any effort to preserve lighthouses should be embraced by ALL members of this Forum. To receive a quality pin should be viewed as a welcome bonus for ones willingness to assist a troubled light. I give a standing ovation to those who worked on the Morris Island pin and who now are now working hard to help St. George.

Lamar,
I don't know what is going on but have gotten a reject on my email to you again. It is saying that your email is undeliverable?

Can you help me?

Doc John you said so eloquently. I too agree that we should move forward for the 2001 WACKO Pin. Come on you Lighthouse Lovers, let Lemar know his efforts are not in vain. Can't you hear the big band playing in the background! Let's all get on board this great WACKO ship and go sailing off to the St. George Reef lighthouse. Count me in for the ride.

This very worthy and important effort should continue! I know I want 2 and maybe even more if possible. This is a great way to keep the flame burning and help in a little way to support efforts in maintaining our treasures.
Again thanks for all the hard work.

I have emailed my request to you, Lamar, for two pins. Keep up the good work. Don't give up the ship. A lot of wackos could be vacationing right now.
