For those who have not yet figured it out, a "pharologist" is one who loves and studies lighthouses. Whence the name? It comes from one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Pharos, the great lighthouse in Alexandria,Egypt. Built between 300 and 280 BC by Ptolemy I and his son, Ptolemy II. It stood about 450 feet high. It was destroyed in stages by invaders and earthquakes, and was completely gone by the 1300's.

I had never heard the word "pharologist" before, but knowing the story of Pharos, I immediately figured it out. ;^)
