Dear Gail,
Thanks for taking the time to share your Tucson experiences and photos with those of us who weren't able to attend. It's always a pleasure going through them!
It was also nice to see one of my former kids in one of your most recent photos, the Kelly aurichalcite now in Kevin Brown's collection.
