[Rockhounds] Texas collectors MR supplement

[Alan Goldstein]

I would like to hear comments from the list regarding the free Texas mineral collectors freebie included with the current issue of Mineralogical Record. It contains some pretty photos (a lot of Sweet Home rhodochrosites and tourmaline crystals) along with a two paragraph bio from each of the 29 collectors (or couples). There are some nice fluorite specimens (one of my favorite species) scattered among them. 

While I like a bunch of pretty pictures as much as the next collector, I would rather see those folks with deep pockets fund something more educational or historically significant. How about a supplement of the best self-collected specimens and the stories behind their discovery?
