Thanks Darren! I have so many more but am falling asleep at the computer, had a long day of working out, mowing and then Jim's birthday dinner and family gathering. Wanted to at least add a few more photos. People are sending me requests to keep going and I have lots more photos. I took over 200 a day, so close to 900 photos for the show report to go through and see what's worth posting.
But this is FUN, just need a less fuzzy head!
In the meantime, enjoy!

| My Mentor, Helene Rosenburg. She kept me in the hobby when I was concerned about how women were often ignored at my first mineral show attending. Jim was busy as I roamed room to room and was so often made to feel uninvited or bothersome. Helene was enthusiastic and inviting. Thank goodness! |
