Thank you Tobias, it's a joy adding endless photos knowing people like you are taking the time to look at them. You are delightful.

....I want to thank my husband, Jim Spann, for his support in my taking lots of time to do this report. He also grabs the camera to include me in the photos. We are celebrating our 9th anniversary next week. I am a lucky woman.

I know collectors who never go to shows, but buy discreetly and keep under the radar. I tell them that a great deal of the fun, the knowledge learned, is from the people who frequent the mineral world events.
