Happy Post Card Lighthousing!

His saving grace is that the card is a really neat one of White Shoals with a great history write up and bonus pic.

When can we all get together for Shirin to give us a tour of Tarrytown? Sometime this summer? Enjoyed your card and note. Keep trying, being a docent at this light sounds like great fun!

We may actually have been at the Lighthouse the same day. I do know that there was another Wacko there the day my wife and I were there.

Donna (DeDo) was there and we all had a nice conversation- Donna and I about HL's and Lighthouses and the three of us about our children away at college.

I've got to dig my journal out (it's buried under things moved for Christmas) and check the date I was at Tarrytown.

Here's a question for Shirin- was there a person on your tour who had a t-shirt of Tarrytown that day? I had one one and the Guide was surprised because he had never seen one before.

Yes, just quite whining or I won't let you dig up anything for a while.

Great card, Shirin - thanks. See folks, not only do you get great post cards but you get true life confessions of how someone got entrapped in the world of lighthousing and a little history to top it all off! Only thing better is to be able to do the lighthousing in person!

I haven't started to send mine out for PC-8 yet. I'm still debating what kind of little surprise I may put in the envelope with the card. Last time I put a "First Day Issue of Southeast Light, Block Island USPS blank postcard with the SE Light stamp and postmark" in with the post card. This time I might........(you'll have to wait and see!)

Today, I will be mailing my envelopes for PC#8. I've put a little extra something in each envelope for all those participating in this exchange.

I have also written a two-digit number on the lower left corner of your envelope. I have recorded that number so I know who has each number. The numbers range from 01 to 26. Remember that number if you want to participate in my contest.

I will start a separate thread explaining what you need to do to win and what the prizes will be once I figure everyone has received their envelope.

Stay tuned!

I found your envelope waiting for me when I got back.

Thanks for the extras, and I patiently await your contest.

I used my latest trip to pick up cards to send out and hope to do so shortly.

Don't forget to remember the number in the lower left corner of the envelope.

Bob, I liked the extras in your envelope. You also send such nice surprises. Thanks.

Prizes:

The first prize winner will have the choice of either a "Bob Younger Memorial Tree" issued by HL in 1999, or a 2002 Harbour Lights Calendar (still sealed,never opened). Remember you can only choose one of these items as your prize.

The second prize winner will receive their choice of a package containing ten different lighthouse postcards, or twenty 4"x6" photos of twenty different lighthouses from the New England area (all photos taken by me over the past several years).

Remember, you must follow my instructions to participate. You will need to visit this thread to find out what to do to stay in the running. You will need to visit the Harbour Lights website for a clue. You will need to email me at biri97@aol.com to let me know you found the clue and to get your number into the contest (number on the lower left corner of the envelope I sent you). Do not post the clue at the CF. Everyone must work to find it, then email me with the clue and your entry number. I will send you a reply and post the numbers of those who are in the contest. You will have one week to complete your tasks before I let you know which state lottery will determine the winner(s).

Good luck, and watch this thread for further instructions.
