[Rockhounds] John Hiller, Jr ?

[Nathan Martin]

I recently purchased a couple of 1970s era collecting guidebooks written by
John Hiller, Jr. at the New England Micromounters "reunion" meeting.  One is
entitled "Connecticut Mines and Minerals" and the other is "Massachusetts
Mines and Minerals".  I have done some web-searching in an effort to locate
him to ask permission to scan portions of these documents for the Boston
Mineral Club website but have not yet turned up any promising leads.  The CT
booklet was reviewed in Min Record, Vol. 2 #3 (its selling price was $3.00)
and he apparently operated a rockshop (Hiller's Crystal Shop) and in the
1970s lived in both Stratford, CT and Shelton, CT.  I also have found
references to some other 1970s era publications by him but nothing that
would give me a lead.

If anyone on the list has any direct knowledge of Mr. Hiller and how I might
contact him please send me an email.

best regards,
