Hey Gail!

That's Rich Olsen in the photo with Jim (your hubby), Jim Walker and Megaw. He's a avid thumbnail collector and his outstanding collection will be shown on Volume 1 of Collecting Minerals: Thumbnails along with Wendell Wilson's and Carolyn Manchester's.

Jack Halpern gives a short speech. Love his jacket He told me he saw it on a friend, commented how much he liked it, and the fried took it off and gave it to Jack. It reminds me of Malachite and Azurite...

Gene calls Dr. Ed David up and presented him with an award....

It seems that Gene and Dr. David had been out for dinner and Ed opened a fortune cookie that said he should start collecting..no lie! So Gene framed it and gave it to Dr. David.

The Guest speaker for the night was Harrison Schmitt, last man to walk the moon with Apollo 17. He was also a Senator in N.M. briefly.
