PostPosted: Sep 30, 2011 06:15    Post subject: "Gail's collection" reach 100.000 viewings!  

Today this thread of "Gail's collection" reached 100.000 viewings.

As we did with Carles Millan's thread , we placed at the start of Gail's thread a yellow star with the text (Alt):"100.000 club" and also made sure that the thread will be always at the top of all threads of the section "Women's Private Collections" ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewforum.php?f=17 ) as a kind of small homage to a thread that arrived at 100.000 viewings.

Congratulations Gail, you made 100.000 readers happy! ;-) More, please....

I will happily add more, what an honor! Jim and I spent the day at the Natural History Museum of London with Alan Hart today, I will load up some of the 700 photos I took as we dug through the many drawers with Alan. Incredible mineral photos to share!
What a fabulous way to spend time in London! Jolyon Ralph, and his fiancee Kate, joined us too.
anyhow, again...Thank You!
Cheers, Gail
