Thanks for firing up your 2022 Tucson show report. I share your concern over Peter, who has been a good friend at the Tucson show over the years, making his annual treks to Tucson for many years. I'll look forward to seeing your exhibits and you guys during the events in Tucson. I will also be putting in my Bisbee minerals at the TGMS show as a tribute to my late collecting buddy, Dick Graeme. You're correct, Gail, it is a lot of work to exhibit our collections but so important to share our passion. We wouldn't have very interesting mineral shows if collectors, dealers and museums did not exhibit, and I encourage all collecting entities to participate.

Thanks everyone! Just finished packing the large case for the Main show. Took a good part of the day. But it’s done.
Sharing a few photos…

Hey there. We are stuck in Dallas with a huge ice storm and travel is impossible. Waiting for things to melt and dry up...

| What a beautiful Pyromorphite from the San Francisco mine! I don't recall ever seeing one like this. Nice piece and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jordi. We finally left mid day on Saturday and ran through slush and saw lots of wrecked vehicles. It was a tough few days of icy roads. We drove for 15 hours and arrived in Tucson at mountain time 12:30 am. We unpacked and managed to get to bed at 3:00 am!

We were putting a display in the new venue, the Fine Mineral Gallery. Jim and I were excited.

We had to put the display in from the back. This is hard.

We are drinking lots of water! It’s a desert and dries your mouth quickly.
