John, ... Is someone going to send out the list of names and addresses for this exchange?

Bob

Bob,
You didn't read the thread. I said early on I would collect addresses & distribute. Any folks in this exchange that were not in St. John's original exchange need to e-mail me your snail mail address. I will get them together and distribute to all.

I need addresses from: Ladybug, Oseabee, Pharologst, Randy, Sunshine, Mrs TLC & Beaconfollower.

I just received the last of the addresses and have completed the address list. I have e-mailed the list to all participants (at least I hope I have!) Please let me know if any corrections need to be made or if I missed anyone.

Happy Postcard Lighthousing.

Dave

Just sent out the final list with one small correction.

Dave

I just received a beautiful postcard of Assateague Light from Bill O'Brien (OSEABEE). This is the first card I've received from the latest postcard swap.

I noticed Bill's card had a 20 cent postage stamp on it. Is it safe to assume the postcard rate didn't go up like the first class rate?

Bob

I got in the early bird mail Bob. I dont believe the post card rate is going up just regular mail.Bill O'Brien oseabee

Just a thought,We have the youngers on the list and I notice Mo is in how about some one who alaways tries to help when you need it.I included her on my list KIM.

Hi Bob,

Good choice!
Mary

Hi Bob,...Received your postcard the other day and forgot to say thanks. Yours was the first one in from PE3. I don't recall getting a postcard of a light with snow in the picture before. One of my favorite lights too! Thanks!

Bob

Thanks Bob. Nice postcard. I have been wanting to get down to LI to see all the beautiful lighthouses. Maybe this summer.

Sheryl

Bob,

We received your postcard in the mail today. Great picture and one we hope to visit someday.

Also we got the postcard from Bill (Oseabee) at the beginning of the month. Just want to make sure the address for Bill is right now that he has moved. Is it in Bradenton?

That makes two so far. Hope to get ours out in the next couple of weeks.

It's been great...I've received two so far...one from Oseabee and the other from Bob...they are both unique...I have a few that my neice bought for me in San Diego and I will send them out...the rest will have to wait till we go someplace to pick some more up...those darn lighthouses are just so difficult to find here in AZ.


Ruthie

Hi 2beacons Oseabee is still at the same adress.Bill O'Brien oseabee

My postcards go into the mail TODAY, 1/26/01. I've been told that the mail here in Murphy "takes a few extra days". All my incoming mail seems to bear this out, even the stuff right here from Murphy!!

ENJOY !

I received my Sandy Hook today from pharologst. It is fun to look for the cards in the mail again. Thanks!

Todd and Marla,

We got a Big Sable Point Light postcard in the mail today. Nice postcard. Jeff and I have gone there many times.

When you come over to this side of the state later this year, let us know and maybe we can meet you somewhere.

2beacons

I just mailed all the postcards for the "mailed without an envelope" postcard exchange. Everyone got the same card so there shouldn't be any duplicates for the next ones I preparing for mail in an envelope. Those should be ready by the first of the week.

Bob

Great card Todd. I haven't heard of that lighthouse before. But, I'm sure there are alot I haven't heard of. Would love to get to the Michigan area. I finally got my postcards yesterday. Hope to get them in the mail soon. Thanks again.

Sheryl

Which lighthouse, Sheryl? I received White River.

Dave

Sheryl,

I am ashamed.....LOL

All three cards I sent out are lighthouses that Harbour Lights has sculpted: White River, Big Sable, and Point Betsie.

Just a little ribbing.....

-Todd

Well since I have been answering the forum at work (don't tell ok?) I'll have to go back and let you know which Michigan one it is. I got Bob McKeon's card today. Nice one of Plymouth Gurnet Light, in Plymouth Mass. I have to admit that even though I grew up in Massachusetts (Weymouth) and have been to Plymouth many times. I have never seen this lighthouse. Guess I need to take a trip to Plymouth next time I go home. I just love getting these Postcards. There are just so many lighthouses, will I ever live long enough to see them all!

Sheryl

WE RECEIVED BOB'S POSTCARD IN THE MAIL TODAY. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ANY OF LIGHTS IN MASSACHUSETTS SO, TO US IT LOOKS GREAT.

BY THE WAY, IT CAME THROUGH THE MAIL IN GREAT SHAPE.

THANKS BOB

MARY AND JEFF

Rec'd big sable in the mail today thanks a lot Todd.Bill O'Brien oseabee

Thanks Bob for the great postcard of Plymouth Bug Light. Massachusetts lights are not known to me, either. One of these days I will plan a trip and find some of them.
Derith

I got the Plymouth bug light also. I've been to many in Massachucetts, but not this one.

Maybe later this year. Nice card.

Dennis

I also received post cards yesterday from Todd and Bob. It's funny how some cards get to UT so quick and others seem to drag along the way. These cards get me jammed up for another year of lighthouse trips.

Rec'd another card today from Bob M. abeautiful vista looking over the Gurnet at Plymouth Ma. Thanks Bob.Bill O'Brien oseabee

Ok boys and girls, the postcard are written, stamped and going out in the mail tomorrow.
Let's see how long it is before they start to show up.

From the winter wonderland (Michigan).

Mary and Jeff

Got Bob's Gurnet Light in the mail here today, came through in great shape!! Looking forward to the mail every day!!!

Dave & Todd.....I found the postcard, yep its Point Betsie... Thanks again.

Sheryl

Rec'd another card today.Grand Haven pier from Jeff and Mary Meyer.the photo credit on the back says stormy skys over lake Michigan but I would say the storm was just over from the clouds and water on the deck. Thanks folks another geat card. Bill O'Brien oseabee

Thanks Mary and Jeff for the nice postcard of Fort Gratiot Lighthouse...one of these days, when I retire, I am going to take a month and see all the lights in Michigan.
Derith

Hey Mary and Jeff,

Received your Point Iroquois Lighthouse postcard...echo your words "that this is one for the HL wishlist!"

Thanks!

M & H

I received an interesting crd today from Sheryl (Beaconfollower). Is of the Barge Canal Lighthouse in Verona Beach, NY. This is definitely one I would never have seen or heard of without the benefit of these post card exchanges! Thanks, Sheryl.

Dave

Got your postcard, Mary & Jeff. It's great. Would love to go see "Big Red". Michigan has so many lighthouses. Sounds like a good reason for a trip to me!! Thanks for the postcard.

Sheryl

PS: Your welcome Dave...I thought it was one not too many would think of .

We received the Barge Canal from Sheryl and a card of Washington lighthouses from Darlene. Both came through in great shape. We echo Dave's words: never new that Barge Canal existed without the card from Sheryl. Darlene's card makes us want to take that trip someday.

Thanks,
2beacons

Same here, got Darlene's card today in great shape. The more of these cards I get the more I know I need to save my money for alot of trips in the future..

Sheryl

OK everyone. I have a minor problem. I have lots of post cards. Having used up cards of my local lighthouses, I asked my daughter who teaches in San Jose to locate cards for me, and she did. Unfortunately, I didn't specify size, and she got some great cards showing Point Arena, or Pigeon Point or Point Montara, but they are 5 X 7" instead of 4 X 6.

I also have some 4 X 6" cards of Oregon coast lights. They include Cape Arago (1), Cape Blanco (1), Umpqua River (2), Heceta Head (2), Coquille River (2), Yaquina Head (1), Yaquina Bay (1) and Tillamook Rock (1).

If you have a preference, e-mail me with what you'd like. Otherwise, you'll get a nice card of one of those lighthouses.

Rich

------------------

Another card today from Darlene agroup of beautiful Washington lights.when you compare them to our east coast lights they are so much younger in age maybe starting to save them now will be a great help instead of waiting as long as on the east coast.The beauty of the west coast lights are a great contrast from east coast construction.Bill O'Brien oseabee

So far, I have received the following:
Darlene, love those Washington lights
Bob McKeon,Plymouth Gurnet Light, great card
Todd, White River Light, never saw this one before
Sheryl, Barge Canal Lighthouse, thanks for introducing me to this light
Mary & Jeff Meyer, Fort Gratiot, this certainly is a stately lighthouse
Pharologst, Sandy Hook, can't wait to climb this light on the tour during the reunion

Thanks one and all for these great postcards.

Checked my list today, received seven so far this exchange. Bob's Montauk Pt. which we still have to visit! Ponce from Bill, Sea Girt from Pharologist. Washington state group from Darlene again all we hope to see someday. Plymouth light from Bob, again a future visit. Two from Great Lakes area, White River from Todd, Holland from the Meyers. The Holland arrived the day after Valentine's Day, when we had treated ourselves to the LE Holland courtesy of Randy Kremer. The postcard really makes it a must see light someday!

I had one other card in the month of January from Tim Watts which completed my second list. I only had one no-show in the first group. Not bad considering how the cards can slip inside other pieces of mail.

I'll be working on getting mine out in the next few weeks.
