...The end of the show, we are ready to head out the door as Jim comes walking to find me and we can leave. I want to thank everyone who sent encouraging letters to keep me posting more photos. The show was fabulous for us, we love all the people and the smiles and good laughs. The food, parties, wine and lectures were wonderful too.
I mostly wish to thank the TGMS for making the Main show happen every year, and all the countless volunteers.
I also wish to thank all the tireless dealers who offer us all such great minerals from wholesale to high end, there is something there for every one.
We appreciate your hours of travel and setting up.
Now..about that drive home to Dallas.....

Gail, I've enjoyed catching up and looking at all your Tucson pictures--I just viewed them all today, having just returned home. As before, you've done a super job of documenting both the people and the "rocks" in Tucson.
Right here in your own picture show is probably the best place to add this nice picture of you--I managed to photograph the photographer, when she had her camera in hand but didn't, for just that moment, have it up to her eye to capture something.
Cheers, Pete
P.S., I'm shorly going to post some pictures from the get-together Jordi hosted at Casa Vicente. I'll just start a new thread for this, and title it something about Jordi's Forum party at Casa Vicente.
