Great idea, John! I'll mail you a check this week. I'm sure I speak for many of the "forumites" when I say the Net wouldn't be the same without the Collector Forums. It is only one of two places I check everytime I turn my computer on. The CF is a life-line amongst the dedicated HL Collectors of America.

I would invision a decline in HL sales without the influence of the CF. The CF serves to excite collectors about new releases which in turn makes them anxious to run to their dealer and purchase it.

The CF is not just words on a screen but a foundation to build friendships on. A place to make arrangements for meetings and to report lighthouse club news. It has become a part of many of our lives and daily routines.

God bless you, John, for making all of this possible.

Bob
