A late post on the previous topic - like Cyndi I started collecting HL's because I love lighthouses and HL have the most detailed and dependably good products. To keep myself under control, I only buy the lighthouses that I have seen (of course there are always exceptions!). In 2001 I attended the Reunion in Baltimore (my hometown). It was so thoroughly enjoyable! I attended by myself and at each event I just walked in and sat down somewhere random. I met a lot of nice people. On this occassion and others where I have met the Youngers I found them to be delightful and generous. I intend to continue to collect HL's - please do more of my beloved Chesapeake Bay lights!!! With the economy in the tank right now, we are all cutting back. But I am an optimist and it is a beautiful day and things will improve!!!
