yeah i guess i was being a bit harsh at my perception that the youngers got greedy....I still think there was some of that but i do realize they did much to support lighthouse preservation and charity work with donations. But i can see blaming sales reps for the increased production.....Granted market conditions dictate value for any collectible but i do think a combo of production increase and additions of so many extra items ultimately created some softness in the market for HL. I met Bill twice and thought he was a very kind and neat guy....

Loon, i like it here, i used to live in union county and used this as my weekend house but ended up moving down here permanantly last year and if never have to go back up to north jersey it will be too soon....lol
