We knew her here in Europe because of the shooting. But obviously I did not know nothing about her collecting activities. What such a nice congresswoman who collects wulfenites and attends shows!! How far our politicians are. And smart country and citizens who vote for her!!

Thanks Gail to Share all this pictures for us!
I really dream to come in this place one day! (and I hope! I am again you and can believe to that!).
For the moment I have to enjoy Sainte Marie aux Mines!
But I don't like people (joke), I'm waiting for more photos of species and stands :p

Thanks for all these great Shots Gail! It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband!
You would make a great hunter, you are extremely fast to grab the camera and shoot!
What is incredible with Tucson is the number of collectors, curators and dealers we can meet here! Both from America and from overseas!
I saw also an incredible wurtzite crystal of a huge size and definition, if I remember well, it might be at the W Pinch place!
Have fun in the days ahead!
Valère

It is just after the awards dinner, it has been an amazingly busy week. Jim and i did a presentation on the Perot Museum for the SMMP on Thursday and I did a presentation on a Woman's perspective in mineral collecting.
We have been on the run each day from morning till late at night. Tucson is madness!!!!
Anyhow, one more day, tomorrow...then we head home. But I did manage to take 2436 photos~~~ !
Jordi is gone home, to Barcelona after we had breakfast this morning. What fun he is.

Home safe, never had the time to upload during the show this year, too tired or busy to sit and do much. The spotty internet was difficult too. Anyhow, now to catch up....
