info on the LA Harbor Light
In a posting in the WikiProject on Lighthouses, User:Jimbthom asked: "How can I contribute to the Los Angeles Harbor Light page.
I served on the light in the early 1960's. I found little information on the Internet on L.A. light a few years ago and decided to take on the task of researching the history of the light and create a website exclusively all about the light. I spend a couple of years but only got about half way through when I had to put the project on hold. I haven't worked on it since 2004 so I removed the data at that time. I recently gave some thought to resuming the project. However, I realize that a website that I maintained would only be short term as I am getting along in age. I then found that there was one on Wikiipedia. I found some of the info came from my research that I sharred with others, which is good. I also found some info that was incorrect or was incomplete.
I have over 100 photos, some 30 pages of Word Documents (lots of raw data and resource information). I also have a PowerPoint presentation of over 70 slides.
Is there any intrest by the WikiProject Lighthouses project in my research?
Thank you. Jimbthom (talk) 00:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)"
My reply: That's great! I am working on historic sites in Los Angeles area, including the List of Registered Historic Places in Los Angeles that includes an entry on that Light. I would be very interested in talking with you and/or meeting towards using your research and photos. To reach me, please send an email to me by the email-to-me box on my User-page.
I would genuinely like to follow up with you now if your offer still stands. sincerely, doncram (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
