I'm late to this discussion...but, some interesting info came across the Circulation Desk in the Middle School where I work last week. The husband of one of our teachers sent me word and a calling card to contact a park ranger up in Northwest part of Florida. Seems like they have just received a big chunk of change to restore...you got it, Egmont Key Light. Right now, because of the holidays, that is all I know. But it is good news if it is true.
