Thanks for the nice report and pictures of the Ball, John, and to the other John, congratulations on your much deserved award!
P.S. what do you know, at the Saturday evening program & silent auction at the Denver Show, I had commented to someone that "where else do you get the curator of a major mineral museum, providing the musical entertainment?" (Bruce Geller, CSM Museum Director, and his cohort Jay, a.k.a. The Borscht Brothers, played guitar-mandolin music during the event). But now I see that the Seaman Museum also has a musical curator.

John-
I got kicked off Mindat once (account since restored - thanks Jolyon!) for a very snarky ... okay incredibly rude ... comment I made to you a couple of years ago. I must say that since that time, I have learned a hell of a lot from your posts there and here, and truly appreciate all that you have done. A sincere congratulations from me as well.

Pip Pip Huzzah, Pip Pip Huzza, Pip Pip Huzzah!
When I consider the hours spent, nay, years spent, reading and re-reading and trying to absorb the info in the Min Rec. alone, I can only say "Thank You John for showing us the beauty, wonder and science in the mineral kingdom and the opportunity to expand our horizons." You have affected us positively. Nice going old chum! Pip Pip Huzzah!!! |
