Mary Jane and I are looking forward to the Portsmouth get together. I'm sure that we will have as much fun as we did at the last one in Portland, ME (where we climbed Portland Head and Spring Point Ledge lighthouses, took a boat ride to see lighthouses from the other side, ate wonderful fresh seafood, and went to an event with Bill Younger) and the April meeting in CT (when we had the pleasure of listening to Elinor DeWire (noted author and lighthouse enthusiast), and took a guided tour of New London Ledge light).

I've been working hard to get the catalog of NELL merchandise completed and available to all NELL members who would like to order in time to wear their purchases in Portsmouth. I have several more pages of pictures to scan and hope to get it to everyone soon.

This club is full of lighthouse lovers, like yourselves, so if you want to join in on the great adventures contact the membership chairperson, Valerie Patnaude, at: patnaude@worldnet.att.net

Helping to keep the flame in New England,

Ron
(CT Keeper)
