"With that many people there to enjoy the light hope that someone was recruiting for a preservation group!"

I did not hear anything mentioned about preservation of the lighthouse. There may have been something at the entrance of the tower which I did get to. There was some talk around the empty refreshment table about trying to get the Coast Guard to allow an open lighthouse day or weekend next spring or summer. The gentleman talking mentioned something about trying have businesses allowed on the grounds to sell lighthouse related items. It would then be suggested to the businesses that they give a part of their profits to a lighthouse preservation group if one could be set up by then. Lots of ideas, we will have to wait to see what happens.
