This is the first time at a regional that I have been at, that this was done.
Dave had displayed right in front of us an actual paint sample of a lighthouse that was not made yet and later to find out it would not be released till 2009.

Nothing was said, it was just displayed. When I saw it, I immediately recognized it and went to pick it up. I heard three voices shouting at me.
Don't touch it!!!
It is a Paint Sample!!!
It is the only one!!!
Beside this being a Paint Sample it was the only light of its type. The production for this light has not started and it will not be released to collectors till next year.

It was nice that us regional people were the first to know about this light.

The light has been in the wish list several times and it is a very good choice. A lot of collectors will be pleased with this one.
