Really nice article on Avery. Good writing, Ron Foster, and Paul, thanks for posting!
Worth pointing out the mention that bricks can still be purchased. A group of us recently purchased another brick, this time in memory of a deceased lighthouse friend.

Thanks for posting this, Paul. Not only is Ron a fantastic photographer and writer, but he has also made wonderful contributions to the restoration of Avery Point.

Ron hugs a lighthouse in some way, every day of his life, in some way!
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

Nice article, Ron. The members of the Forum have purchased two bricks on the walk in memory of member Bill O'Brien, OSeabee. Anyone gets out to the light and finds them take a picture and share with us.

Thank you all for your kind words, but more importantly for your friendship and for your efforts on behalf of our lighthouses. I do know where the bricks are Dave and will post images soon.

We have a brick up there and one day we will see it when we visit the lighthouse.
