OK, with 2003 releases out, let's hear your hopes and dreams for 2004. What are your three hopefuls for 2004?
Here's mine:

• Race Point, MA
• Isle of Shoals, NH
• Five Fingers. AK

Windmill Point, VT
Race Point, MA
Isle la Motte, VT

A couple of long shots here, but who knows. Vermont has only had one light made that I know of.

Bert

Let's see...

The Manhatten Range Lights (Matched set, from the time when the rear range was taller and the lights were active).

Conover Beacon and Chapel Hill Light (Once again, a matched set...splitting them 50/50 with the original and current Conovers could be cool).

Tinicum Rear Range Light decked out in christmas lights for the Movie Jersey Girl. (This could be a good christmas piece!)

Yes, I know these are less-known lights. But it might be cool to see them produced!!!

Oh yeah...and a Sea Girt LLOM would ROCK!!!!

Mispillion, DE
Cape Charles, VA
and one people don't ask for much...Spring Point Ledge, ME

Point Bonita with the bridge

Old & New Presque Isle MI matched set

Little Sable MI

I agee with Dave on two.

But I still want Bonita with a bridge

We would like to see
Mispillion, DE.
New Point Comfort, VA.
Cape Charles, VA.

In all fairness though all of the choices that have been mentioned would be great. Anyway no matter what new pieces come out we will be purchasing them as quickly as we can. I wish we could buy stock in Harbour Lights, our purchases only would make this company a profitable one for many years to come.

Bill & Janet

I wish HL would:

1) Drop the GLOW line
2) Return the LE's to the size/style of the original 5500's
3) Quit pumping out so much open edition giftware so that we could all get excited about their products again.

1. Cedar Island, NY
2. Cedar Island, NY
3. Cedar Island, NY

1. North Light, Block Island, RI
2. Cedar Point, Long Island, NY
3. Race Point, Provincetown, Cape Cod, MA

Bob

Owl's Head ME with steep hill.
Point No Point WA with small fishing boats in the water.
Marblehead MA with sailboats in the harbor.

A diverse group.

Wishes for 2004 are:

-Owls Head, ME ** Please!, before I turn blue!!
-Winter Harbor (Mark Island), ME
-Cape Charles, VA

Old Presque Isle, MI
Cape Charles, VA
Mispillion, DE

Of course mine are Michigan lights..

1. Little Sable
2. South Haven
3. Sand Hill (B&B) in UP

1. Cape Charles, Va-- I've asked for this one forever
2. Mispillion, DE
3. Wright Brothers Memorial Beacon-- for 100th Anniversary of Flight

Mine would have to be all Michigan;

Old & New Presque Isle
Seul Choix Point
Au Sable Point

Three top choices.
Stage Harbour, Chatham, MA
Great Point, Nantucket, MA
Race Point, Provincetown, MA

I'm keeping my fingers crossed......maybe someday!

Cape Charles, VA
Egmont Key, FL (With the lan tern room intact)
Point Bonita, CA (Way cool light)

Lime Kiln, WA
Point Bonita
El Morro, Puerto Rico

I doubt we'll see Lime Kiln. However, I sit by this light for several hours each June, waiting for the whales to go by. This light sparked my interest in lighthouses.

Tammy

My three choices for 2004 releases are...

Cape Charles, Virginia

New Point Comfort, Virginia as a LE

The Old Coast Guard Station, Virginia Beach, VA, formerly known as Seatack LSS...I want the LSS line to continue!

Judy

CedarIsland
Eaton's Neck
Huntington Harbour

I almost posted "same as Dave", but my loyalties to Michigan began tugging at me. So...

1)Little Sable, MI
2)Squaw Island, MI
3)and of course Waugoshance Shoal, MI - Then and Now. If any lighthouse has taken more of a pounding (and survived to tell) than this one, I'd like to see it.

Well, being that my most wanted wish has just been granted, and you all know which one that is.... Sand Island, AL ofcourse! I doubt that anything else could meet the same expectations for me, but here goes anyway:

1. I'll agree with...Cape Charles, VA

2. Crooked River, Carrabelle, FL I know, I know FL has already had their share for a while, but I'd still like to see it done.

3. Tchefuncte River, LA

Stephanie

Lime Kiln with a pod of Orcas going by would be great Tammy. They could have one in mid jump . That would make it unique enough that I think it would sell.

Dale

I would like to see a Virginia, Alaska and California lighthouse. No particular ones as I like them all. Let Harbour Lights choose.

Being from Michigan, I must lobby for Michigan lights! My three Michigan wishes are:
1. Old Presque Isle
2. Seul Choix Point (with the birdhouse)
3. Ludington N. Breakwater

I could go on!!

Dan

1.Cape Charles,VA
2.Craighill Channel,upper Range,MD (the Cutoff Channel)and The Front Light of the Craighill Channel Lower Range,MD.Both as an LE set of two.
3.Mispillion,DE

Living in Hawaii with NOOOO HL dealers, I rely upon The Forum to keep me informed and you haven't
disappointed me. Harbour Lights hasn't disappointed me, just frustrated me. One of my wishes would be peachy. Here they are for 2004.
1.Pomham Rocks, RI
2.Eastern Point, MA
3.Bishop and Clerks (Gone but Not Forgotten)
No Hawaii lights!!!New England is ONO (The Best)

I already posted my choices. Dan suggested Seul Choix Point (with the birdhouse). I would be happy if HL chose that light...especially with the birdhouse replica of the light.

Dale, have you been to San Juan Island? In the late spring and summer, it is a great place to see the orcas. There are more and more people each year I go, and Washington State keeps on upgrading the park. I think the secret may be getting out...

Hopes and dreams for 04 are:

• Cape Charles VA. Mispillion DE. Owls Head ME.

Looking great for 2004. My picks are:

1) Point Bonita CA
2) Mispillian DE
3) Owls Head ME

Ken

Tammy,

I haven't had the chance to get up to San Juan Island. My brother was just up there and loved it. I hope to go there and into Canada sometime but with moving and all I probably wont get to it this year.

dale

I would love to see

1.New Point Comfort, VA
2.Cape Charles, VA
and 3. Back River Lighthouse,VA-gone all but a pile of rocks. Had a relative who was the first keeper there in 1829.

I would like to see:

1) Michigan Island, WI (both towers)
2) Cape Charles, VA (which I think will happen within 2 years time)
3) Fowey Rocks, FL

Love those skeletal towers.

My top three wishes for 2004 are:

1. A Safe Year for All
2. Good Health for all
3. World Peace (for those who have seen the movie "Miss Congeniality")

My three hopes would be:

1. Mispillon, DE - In honor of it's recent demise.

2. An Alaska LH - Sentinal, Five Fingers, Cape Decision, Scotch Cap, or Hinchinbrook since they are all similar in design & we just got back from a trip there to visit family.

3. A Washington LH - I agree Lime Kiln with some Orcas would be great, but others we have seen like Point no Point, Point Wilson, Destruction Is., or West Point would be nice also.

I'm with you Dick, if I can't get a complete Outer Banks set (no Ocracoke or Prices Creek), how about we shoot for all of Puget Sound? They're not all beautiful but there is a wide variety (excepting Point No Point and West End). Don't wait until we finish the Great Lakes, I'm too old!

Windmill Point, VT

Thachers Island, MA

Pointe-au-Père (Quebec, Canada)

(Don't try for the English version here, it's not there yet.)

Mike

I would love to see-

1. Owl's Head, Please, Please, PlEEEEEEEEEESE!!

2. Point Bonita, Ca. with Bridge and Tunnel

3. Point Sur, Ca. with the steep hill or
(Mountain)

Old Vermilion, OH light
East Charity Shoal

I'd like this as a set because the East Charity Shoal Light, NY is the original Vermilon light that was thought lost since it was removed from Vermilion in 1927. However it was found just a few years ago to still be an active light at the entrance to the St. Lawrence as East Charity Shoal.

1.)Seul Choix Point (with the birdhouse)
2.)Point Comfort, VA
3.)Point Bonita, Ca. with Bridge and Tunnel
Although it asks for only 3 there were so many great suggestions that if any of them are made I would be very excited!!!

1) Appearing on Jeopardy
2) Winning the lottery
3) Getting my debt paid off.

Oh, you mean HL wishes.

1) Tinicum rear range light, NJ
2) Michigan Island, WI (both towers)
3) Crooked River, FL

New London Harbor, CT
Windmill Point, VT
Avery Point, CT

Ron
(CT Keeper)

I am late getting my list in:

1. Cape Charles, Va
2. Mispillion, Del.
3. New Point Comfort, Va

Joyce

I would like to echo a few choices of my fellow collectors and see both Little Sable, MI and a set with Old and New Presque Isle, MI.

My biggest wish for 2004 would be to see my home lighthouse and restoration in progress, the Saginaw River Rear Range Light. I have been wishing for this one for a number of years and someday, eventually, I am sure it will be done by Harbour Lights!

-Todd

Lets see

1.) Pt Sur with cliff and Keepers haouse
2.) Point Bonita
3.) El Morro, Puerto Rico


All winners

Chuck

1. The Cuckolds Light---Boothbay Harbor, Maine

2. Point Vicente---California

3. Owl's Head---Maine

Oh, how about

1.) Point Bonita with Bridge and tunnel
2.) Point Sur with cliff and house
3.) 3 Sisters interlocked base

Changed a bit from the last listing. Point Sur sounds like it could work well.
