|

This past weekend we had the great pleasure of enjoying MAD and SMU's mineral symposium with various guest speakers at the SMU campus in Dallas, Texas. That evening, on the Saturday night, Rob Lavinsky of the Arkenstone hosted a "dinner" for all the guests.
Jim and I hosted the Sunday "Brunch with a Crunch" for well over a hundred guests.
Due to cooking I have no photos of the symposium as I was at home, but I do have photos of the Dinner on Saturday and the gathering at our home on Sunday.
I am hoping to have photos of the symposium when people can find the time to send a few to me.

I was just goofing with it and asked Jim to take a photo of me with my camera phone, well....we thought it was fun and made it the invitation and we even added a photo stamp of it on the envelope. Lunch with a Crunch was Jim's idea. Thanks David.
