Phillip, I have a photo of you I meant to add, will see if I can find it. And I am trying to find a photo of Rob Lavinsky and Adam Katz too.

I just have to throw my thanks in as well. Your report from Tucson 2010 is what made me finally decide to haul the family out there last year - sad we missed this year! It is always a joy to see your reports and I always CRAVE more! Thanks again!

Gail, I noticed you already posted a pic of me [red shirt, goofy smile :) ] on page 24 about a third of the way down.

[Gail]

Oh good, guess I should name you huh? I can't remember what I put on that far back! Thanks Philip.

[Philip Simmons]

You're welcome. I know it's always helpful to put a name with a face.

Gail, thank you very much for all the beautiful pictures of minerals and mineral people. I really enjoyed to watch them.
But i am really surprised by the high prices of most minerals at the show. I must admit, they are very nice, but it's not very normal anymore.. i hope this part of mineral collecting stays in the USA ;-)

Oh, and I will always remember Jordi covered with name cards, that was very funny :-)

[Gail]

You are welcome.

Over 61,200 individual hits on my report so far! wow.

[Gail]

I am about to do a quick report on the Houston show, so keep tuned! It begins next week.

[Riccardo Modanesi]

Hi Gail! I saw all of your photos (by purpose: please remember me to Terry, Mary and Van if you see them again!!!), and I'm waiting for your new report then!
Greetings from Italy by Riccardo.

Sorry everyone, I was dealing with my father's passing and didn't make the Houston stow.
Having lost my Mother in July and then my Dad last week, in May, it was a long tough time for me and my family, but they are together again, at least we like to think so.
I expect you will be seeing more of me again, for better or worse, as Jim and I are over 6,000 minerals and going strong.
We are signed up for the Mindat Conference as well, so will be heading to Morocco later this year.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your parents. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
