Gail, thank you SO MUCH for your annual Tucson report xxxxxxxxxl! Sure, there are several other show reports on the WWW where you can see the many fascinating mineral displays from that show ... but who else gives us the pleasure to see our grandmaster Jordi and your husband Jim sitting on the floor like two playing children?! Great!
:)

If we could save adding photos, other than mine (like https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=49252#49252 ) till the end of my report I would appreciate it. I will officially let you know when I am done adding my own.
