The slow shuffle of the show wears on you.. it was time for a tune up.
I couldn't decide which one of your cases i liked the best.. for me, the best gem case at the show was GIA |
Without stepping on anyone's toes, the GIA was simply magnificent in their first class presentation!

As always Gail, you did a superb job of capturing the essence of Tucson. Thank you again for all of your hard work. I, along with scores of people, who could not go, have walked the sidewalks, seen the smiling faces and the beautiful gems and specimens, thanks to your tireless desire to share with us. We appreciate you!
Hugs,

I thought of you so often Linda! I know that I took some photos with you in mind, glad you like the report. I still have more to do, but finding the time is not as easy now that I am home and busy catching up on daily life.
Best regards, Gail
