[Rockhounds] Women, Girls & Mineral Collecting (Ad of Sorts)

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Darryl,

I have not yet received my hardcopy of the latest ''Mini Miners 
Monthly', but your online link is a joy to read. I thank you again for 
a great publication!

My childhood Mentor as a Rockhound was Geologist Dr. Mary Jane Dockery. 
  I am honored to know her as a friend after these many years; I dream 
of discovering a new mineral and naming it after her. Her inspiration 
has given me great joy.

Too many women drop out of science due to cultural bias. I am 
personally fighting the problem with my gifted youngest daughter.

Culture be damned! Men and Women can contribute as equals!.

Thank you for noticing the elephant in the living room.

Kreigh
