Gail,
Great report as always - just the right mix of people and minerals! We really like the fact you showed some of your acquisitions as you and Jim were purchasing them, within the context of the show. Congratulations on your report and newest additions! Happy Mother's Day!
Greg & Ginny

Hi Gail,
I see you included a picture of Adam Sotomayor. Did you happen to snap a pic of the sculpture in his room? The skull with sunglasses and the butterfly bowtie? By Francisco.
I want to show my friends; they don't believe me.
I bought the DVD of "American Woman". Awesome! A new Michelangelo...

I have a photo of that from the Tucson show. I will go dig it out. Francisco brought his wife and lovely daughter to meet us at the art evening at the Westward Look. Super nice folks!

Oh..too funny. Our son-in-law was here today, for Mothers Day. Jim and I thought about how much his bald head resembled the "bowling ball" hematite we had. ...Me and my camera, well...couldn't resist.
