David, it's such a shame to see all the hard work put into Mobile Point just pushed aside into some storage complex again. I think your files would be a great addition to the historical accounts of the 3 Alabama Lighthouses! Surely someone in some official capacity can look into adding these into the "archives" of information to make this available to the interested public. The tale of Mobile Points rescue is one worth telling!!
If nothing else, I'll add it to my unofficial website!!

: : Hi!
: I rescued the little lighthouse from a junk yard in Pensacola, Fl in 1966 and presented it to the Alabama Historic Commission for restoration. They restored the tower as Alabama's contribution to the 200th anniversary of the lighthouse service.
: Fort Morgan has never recognized my efforts in the recavery of the lighthouse but the Mobile Historic Development Commission presented me with a plaque in December 1992 for the project.
: My file on the history of the lighthouse is open to anyone interested in further information.
