Jordi, sorry for the delayed response; I'm very sporadic at my computer, and sometimes do not open it up for a week or two at a time.
I have an archive of early pictures of people, and many others taken at shows and in the field, including a few interesting wildlife ones. The early pictures idea was started some time ago, 20 years or so. My aunt was a photographer, and since she had no children herself, I was often the targeted subject. Maybe some of that wore off on me! Periodically, when I have thought of it, I have asked friends and acquaintances for such early pictures. I had over 100 such pictures and thought it would be fun to show some at the 60th Tucson show. I didn't think I had that many at first, so after counting, I asked Pete M. for a larger display case. The exact dimensions, which I thought I knew, having used such a case before, were not quite large enough for me to get the last upright poster board in (which unfortunately included our overseas guests and a couple of other well-knowns including Wendell Wilson). I will show a couple below.
I still welcome such pictures. The best ones are those that are somewhat difficult to recognize right away, age 1 to 10 or 12 years is often best. I ask that donors of pictures (yours or that of someone else) supply ones that they like themselves. Another category that I have occasionally been given is fun pictures of people disguised one way or another; a couple were included in the case at Tucson as examples. I did not mean to have the pictures broadcast through the internet but assumed that might happen, considering the circumstances, so I left out a few that were given to me with the assumption that they would be circulated sparingly among friends!

Jordi, you may censor if you like. The older picture is magnified to the point that it many be grainy as enlarged. |

Siber & Siber had a very nice display of alpine minerals comemorating their 50th year of their Zurich business. |

Jordi, from talking to you and what I read, your "terrible past" was quite interesting and exciting (excellent MR article on Panasqueira by you and Carles by the way!)(I'm so glad I got a lifetime membership to Mineralogical Record when it was offered many years ago!). At least you were on a collecting trip when the "extra hair" picture was taken (not a usual hippie pastime).

| This labeling was just a mistake made by someone new on the first day that his house was open. It was changed immediately. The piece sold midway through the show, properly marked.
