As usual a very nice response John and Tim that response was a lot better for me to follow (less big words to look up) but you didn't respond to the original question John, whether GLOW's can be retired. HL calls it retired when they stop producing a particular model. This is true with the first set of ornaments (retired), AB Open Edition ships (retired except Chesapeake which they are still going to make), the original Barnegat Open Edition (retired). Everybody can come up with their own definition of what is retired, but the fact is they aren't going to produce the original Portland Head GLOW ever again and that means it is retired. I checked two more dictionarys and the meaning was the same in all of them - to withdraw from circulation. I promise this is my last post on this subject as I am retiring from this thread - withdrawing from circulation.

Retired as in Fred's retired
