Dale,
I saw your column in the Collecors Forum Wish List and it immediately caught my eye!
I was born in Berkeley and grew up in El Cerrito and Pinole areas!
During my many years in California, I never noticed and/or thought of lighthouses. But, in 1997, while browsing in the Tucson Mall and Foothills Malls; I got my glance at a Harbour Lights Lighthouse Display and was immediately hooked!
This obsession, of course, has continued and I daily enjoy my 250+ Harbour Lights Lighthouses and Anchor Bay! I can honestly say, I don't think anything has been so addictive, as Harbour Lights Lighthouses and Anchor Bay Vessels! I told my Harbour Lights Dealer to put me autoship, so I wouldn't miss out on anything!
I missed out on a trip to California in May 1999, but, I am still waiting to make a trip to the Bay Area! I noticed, that you might also reside in Arizona!
Well, if you have any clout, I will put my order in for more lighthouses from the Bay Area and then, San Franciso Lightship!
