I'm not sure of this link is correct or else I'm missing something Shirin...it takes me to an article about the Norman Bird Sanctuary's Harvest Fair and there is no mention of Plum Beach Lighthouse.

This article has already been moved off of the link in my message above. Gee, that didn't take long. If you search for lighthouse in their 2 week archives, the article will come up. Or, if anyone is interested, I can email the story to you while the link is still in their archives.

FYI: In looking through the archives there are extra photos that were not a part of the article I found that go along with this story.

Shirin, Thanks for the "heads-up" on the Plum Beach Lighthouse. I have always admire it and wondered if anyone was taking a special interest in it. The article helped to direct me to similarly interested restoration folks. Thanks.  Bob

What a great article! I wish my boat was still in the water. I would cruise down and take some pics of the progress at the light. Maybe later this fall I'll try to get there early in the morning on a Sunday, when traffic is extremely light, and try to get a few quick pics from the bridge. Bob

From the Daily News website...  Ed Page, left, and Mike Robinson of Abcore Restoration Co. install an edge plate Tuesday on the second floor of the Plum Beach Lighthouse. See "Light years away" at right. (David Hansen/Daily News photo)

Is that a new color scheme? I always thought the light was white except for the Lantern Room?  Bob
