[Rockhounds] Boodle Lane

[Pmodreski at aol.com]

Thanks for pointing out the link to this, Kreigh, I had quite forgotten  (or, 
never really known) that the Min. Record website had this comprehensive  
database of biographical info on prominent collectors.
 
But one should add, I think the word here must be "had" a display case at  
the Smithsonian, because I see that picture is from a very old black-and-white  
postcard of his, and the exhibit certainly looks archaic; I'm sure it must 
have  been removed or changed, many years ago.
