Hey John, ... I think I got involved with the AOL Chats around September of 1997. If my memory serves me correctly, we often talked about current values of HLs (then) and how well certain pieces held their values and even increased in value.
Another topic was the upcoming reunion planned for 1998. I think we knew HL was coming to the East Coast but we didn't know exactly where. I think it was around November when we got the general idea that HL would be coming to the Rhode Island area. I think that may have been confirmed around January of 1998.
The big sellers back then on the secondary market were the Southern Belles, CH-2, Burrows, Portland Head, Point Fermin, and Big Bay Point. Does anyone else recall any of the above happening around that general time span?
