[Rockhounds] Re: [Rockhounds ]School samples (was) Kitty Lava

[John Siebel]

Kitty,

I was wondering if you needed anything. As I cull my collection I'm finding 
lot's of stuff to send your way. Could you send me your address again 
please?

Also, I've credited you on my Flickr site as having collected the lavas. I 
hope that's ok. I should have asked first. If that's a problem, let me k now 
and I'll delete.

John
