[Rockhounds] TUCSON!

[John & Gloria Cornish]

Hi Everyone,

It's the beginning of another beautiful day here in Tucson and I'm looking forward to it! I enjoyed new friends coming into town yesterday and have more coming in today. Very exciting! Yesterday was slow to start, but as has been the pattern, by late afternoon and early evening, everything works its way out. I enjoyed a terrific Sushi dinner last night and will hit breakfast after I finish here. I received new stock yesterday to replace inventory I'd sold-out of and also received the newest FREE magazine published by Justin and Brandy over at... http://www.the-vug.com 

The first issue they gave me for distribution is a Fakes and Forgeries issue that was presented originally to folks at the Munich Show. Having extras, they've been passing these out too. Next came the current issue on Mineral Oddities, the theme issue specifically designed for this show. I feel quite honored that they are giving me the chance to promote our hobby through their efforts.

I had a friend of mine, Wayne, come into the room yesterday bringing me his newest mounted specimens which he'd just picked up from Bill and Elsie over at the Sunnywood Collection.

Wayne showed me a half dozen Pakistan specimens representing such species as quartz, tourmaline, topaz, etc. A wealth of killers. I enjoyed his little showing as these were the best new specimens I saw all day. Fun!

It is beautiful here again today, the sun is shining and I wish you were here too. 

Take care and all the very best,

John

PS  The Westward Look Show opens today. I'll try to get out tomorrow morning to visit the dealers and see the collection of Jim and Gail Spann which will be featured most of the day there tomorrow. See ya!
