JELD-WEN DOUBLES MAJOR LIGHTHOUSE RESTORATION INITIATIVE
Two Famous Lighthouses, Thomas Point Shoal and Wind Point, to Receive
Facelifts This Spring

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - A search-and-rescue effort to help restore the
nation's historic lighthouses just doubled in scope. JELD-WEN, the
world's leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors, set out to
help renovate one lighthouse this year with new windows and doors.
However, due to overwhelming public support for this initiative, the
company is embarking on a much larger mission.


Well, it's a win-win for everybody. I'm glad Jeld-Wen stepped up.
Good advertising for them, good for the general public.



Yes, it's nice that someone is picking up the tab, but this is supposed
to be a non-commercial newsgroup, and the way the news release was
written, it is little more than an unpaid ad, right off the web site of
the window company.

"The world's leading manufacturer of reliable windows and doors." Yeah,
right.


Not to mention that most of your whining is because Chuck is trying to keep
the political crap out of the newsgroup, right?

Harry, you're really a neat guy and all, but sometimes you seem to slip
just a little.

Those of us who boat in the Chesapeake liked the info.
