[Rockhounds] Brazilian Christmas

[Lawrence Rush]

I recently got a nice "thank you" with photos from my Brazilian mineral 
friend showing his son with the Christmas gifts you all were so generous to 
send him.

It is very gratifying to know how giving and caring you all were to send 
things to this boy, who would not have had Christmas gifts without your 
kindness.

I hope the warmth of this memory and spirit will remain with you for all of 
this year!!

BTW, this young man (the father) is trying to sell specimens from Minas 
Gerais to supplement the income from his new, low paying job. If anyone is 
looking for anything from MG, feel free to contact Geraldo, who has access 
to many of the producing pegmatites there. (geraldoalvim at gmail.com)

And if anyone wants to see the pics of this boy, click:

A belated Merry Christmas in the best sense of the phrase!!
