Dave, it is nice that you posted some history here about yourself and how you became involved with lighthouses, specifically Dutch Island Lighthouse.

There are many members on these Forums who are trying to save lighthouses all around the country. Sometimes the money comes rolling in and at other times it comes in dribs & drabs.

Don't let it get you down when the going gets tough. Think of new ways to educate people about your cause, come up with new fundraising ideas, get petitions signed by the public, have the newspapers help you get the word out and above all, realize that you are not alone. We are here for you as you are here for us. Together we will all make a difference, and have fun and comradery while doing it.

What you are doing is very admirable. Keep up the good work, it will pay off.
