I got a letter today from Friends of Fenwick Island Lighthouse. It said that after 25 years the lessor (State of Delaware) has altered the terms of the lease. The Friends of Fenwick Island Lighthouse cannot operate under these conditions. Therefore, we are terminating our lease, and will not be associated with the lighthouse in any way shape or form, effective May 30th, 2007.

It goes on to thank those who support them in the past (I was a member a short while ago).

It does not, however, provide details. Does anyone know what's going on up there? Will the light go out May 31st?
