Sadly there are those that feel they have a right to steal things from hard working dealers of minerals. A pair of young men were seen stealing and they ran out the door and got away. Shame on them and shame on anyone who thinks they can do that to anyone.

Thank you so much Gail, as always.

Great news that we will also enjoy your Denver Show report!

BTW, the photo from Herb Obodda that you published here and that I copied below, is the nicer photo from him I ever saw, and I saw many... ;-)

Good job Gail!

That is a nice photo! Obvious delight!

Thank you for documenting this great show Gail -- I've been attending for years; these photos are nice reminders of the many vendors and friends there. I breezed in on Sunday to have Jeff Scovil do some portraits and was so happy to see friends, though all too briefly because I had to hang out near the studio and wait for an opening. Alfredo, sorry did not make it back to your booth!!!...I liked those pseudomorphs? after fluorite was it?...can't you post a photo of those? Saw Vic and Cindy and a few others, but so sorry to have missed John (White) and Gail and others.

Til next time,
Cheers!
Elise
