A brief history of a wannabe wacho.

I became interested in lighthouses through photography. The camera club I was in back in '85 led several field trips around the North Shore of Massachusetts Bay. I also took several photo courses in the area that featured the seacoast. One trip took me to Annisquam Light near Gloucester. Other trips later on my own took me to Cape May and Cape Henry Lights. So I became infected.

My first HL however, came in '97 as a gift from my parents. That switched me from collecting Spoontiques. I joined the Collector's Society soon after.

My preferences are for 1)lighthouses in New England, 2)lighthouses I have visited, 3) any HL that strikes my fancy and that I can get my hands on.
