Keep this a secret until after this weekend---Connie Small will be getting a wonderful present for her 100th birthday which is June 4. Bill Younger will be presenting it to her tomorrow evening in Portsmouth where she will be a guest of honor at a big event sponsored by the American Lighthouse Association. I had put the bug in Bill's ear two years ago after our club went to see her, but he said it couldn't be made in such a short time. But it was!! --- HL has made Portsmouth Harbor Light, 6500 edition, in time for her 100th and it will be unveiled and presented to Connie. What a wonderful present for her --- a replica of the last lighthouse that she and her husband were in charge of. If you have Connie's book, this piece will be a nice companion in your collection. It will also be the first and only NH lighthouse made by HL to date. Whaleback is a Maine light, despite its flag ID.

We all hope that we can wish Connie a happy 101 next June.
