[Rockhounds] TUCSON!

[John & Gloria Cornish]

Hi Everyone,

It's a bit after 8 pm as I start this note. I've just returned from dinner with friends at one of the local Mexican food restaurants. It was a good meal and I ordered a second dinner to eat in the room tomorrow. The room looks a lot more colorful this evening, all a glitter in soft pretty pink. I've several shelves filled and will be back at it again tomorrow morning. As predicted in my last report, I finished cleaning the last of the glass shelves this morning and then the rocks came out. And soon there after, folks started coming into the room. Fun!

Lots more people have arrived today and the parking lot was a'buzz with display cases being delivered. This is the part I love, everyone will be so frantic to set up while mine own experience has been so much more relaxed. A little goes a long way some times!

Other than my own, the only rocks I've seen thus far are in friend Joe Dorris's room. As many of you know, Joe mines Amazonite and Smoky Quartz from claims he owns in Colorado. This year his premier specimen is a monster well over a foot wide and tall. I'll try to get a photo of it later when he's a bit less busy. What a rock!!

It was another gorgeous day here today, it felt really nice when I went outside and took a break from the room.

And there you have it. More when next I get the chance. I've a shipment coming in tomorrow which I'm looking forward to and I know the shelves will look a lot more filled come this time tomorrow evening. Take care and all the very best,

John
