I had the fun of two visits to the show. First one was with our daughter, Erin. I was guest speaking before Jim and I had planned to arrive so we flew out for a few days so Erin could see the Tucson EXPERIENCE!!! We had a grand time, I gave a talk on my favorite minerals on a Sunday and Erin and I flew home on Monday. I was in our car at 4 am driving 994 miles with Jim back to Tucson. What was I thinking? It was exhausting but we brought our minerals for display.
Anyhow, 2 trips!!!

Jim had business and what not the time our daughter and I were out in Tucson.

For many years we would meet with Jordi, John and Merle White, Wendell and Carolyn Wilson, Tom Moore and his wife, then his daughter. Tom Gressman and Christi Cramer.

We escaped the city for northern area and La Placita.

Great food but better camaraderie.

Took Erin here, so I could tell her the stories over a delicious meal. PS...they miss you Jordi

tBreakfast with our son, Tom. He was at the show for ages, doing photography.
