[Rockhounds] My Personal Collection

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Hi Larry.

Did you take over the living room or the basement to make your rock 
room? That's pretty impressive.

I would have liked to get a closer look at the display cases that line 
the room. Would you consider replacing the current images with 
composites made of close-ups of each case section that I could click on 
to get a larger image and see the specimens clearly? A table of 
pictures would have basically the same image as the current wall 
photographs.

I agree with you about the value of trading. The internet makes it 
easy. Your local Leaverite may be fairly common, but take it half way 
across the country (or around the world) and it starts to be 
interesting stuff that makes nice trades.

Thanks for sharing!

Kreigh
