As Part 7 has gotten off topic, I've closed that one and begun a new one. Posts about signatures etc would be best in the Play Room Forum. No offense to anyone. |

If you're new to the Collector Forum, this is a great place to make your first post. Let us know who you are, where you're from, and how you found us here at the forum. You'll find the majority of the discussion on the CF is related to the greatest collectible in the world, Harbour Lights. There's also plenty of discussion about the real thing (lighthouses) and various other subjects. Take a look at all the threads. You'll probably find one that suits your interests. Welcome aboard! |

Welcome to these forums oseabee. As you know by now they are loaded with alot of information on not only Harbour Lights lighthouses but other subjects as well. The best part is the Harbour Lights Family of Collectors who frequent the forums with their personal stories and feelings about lighthouses. I also look forward to seeing you around the forums and to hearing about all of those lighthouses that you have collected (including the non-Harbour Lights ones). Ron |

Maybe I could bring my night stick and we could fill it with donuts...kind of a "donut-ka-bob". On my job we call them "fat pills". I try not to eat more than 6 donuts a year. In the year 2000, I've already had two. There's probably a good chance I may not reach my quota this year, but don't let that stop the rest of you. ( LOL )

Folks, # 700 is: "sbe" His name is Scott. He posted a message in the "did you get thru" thread that he would be at the reunion. John has already acknowledged him and informed him of his responsibility regarding donuts for all. However, I'm thinking John was a little low in his instructions, as he told him he would only need a gross. Dave |

We are from Holland, MI. We live between Big Red and the Grand Haven Light. We are truly wackos with six curios full of Harbour Lights. Our vacations are planned around lighthouses and car shows. We hope to move off the wait list to the confirmed list for next years reunion in Baltimore. |

Welcome 2Beacons, but Holland (1) plus Grand Haven (2) would actually be 3Beacons! (TIC) If I remember correctly, we also have another member or two from Holland area. Sounds like you have been into the HL collecting scene for a while with 6 curios full! Hope you soon graduate from the waiting list to the confrimed list.

Hello, I am in Nashville, TN and became interested in lighthouse related collecting and in studying about this fascinating subject about 2 years ago. My "collection" is miniscule so far, but I am not interested in having everything I see with a lighthouse plastered on it. I want to collect things that are different than what I have seen over and over. Anyway, I hope to learn from all you "old timers" here as I view myself as the greenest of the "newbies." |

HEY THERE KEN!!! It's good to see you joined the rest of us Wackos here on the Forums. Just so everyone knows... though Ken is a "Newbie" concerning the Forums, he is honestly a true Wacko regarding Harbour Lights. He is a member of the local HL club (Carolina Lighthouse Seekers) which is where I met him, he and his wife have been to many events and have done some extensive lighthouse touring, and has quite a HL collection. I know he will be an attribute to the Forums! Besides all that, he is an all-around nice guy, (you can pay me later Ken). Again, welcome aboard! Tim - Keeping the flame lit... |

Hello everyone, I have really enjoyed finding this forum for fellow collectors...I stumbled across it digging through the HL website as I drooled over the lights.I started collecting 2 years ago when I bought my mom Cape Henry,which is here in Va Beach and that was it...Hillsboro and Cape Florida were my first lights and the race was on.Its wonderful to know there are so many others out there that share the same passion as me.Some of you know me from a couple of post I put about the surprise gift and Wishing for Cape Charles..I havent recieved my Navesink yet but am ooking foward to it.I think its a fabulous and generous gift and will always love displaying it.I got to meet Bill this summer at a local signing here and was able to get a few lights signed,including my fav,Ocracoke..I own a cabinet shop and just built my first curio which actually turned out great for not having any plans and just "winging it"..Somehow I see more in the future.Of all the hobbies I have had,this is the one I enjoy the most and its even better when I found this forum.I just recently bought 5 lights and just want more.Ponce or Hilton Head are in the near future..I look foward to getting to know everyone here and looking foward to spending mucho moola.So hello to all.. Kevin |
