GeneralPassing of Donald Volkman

Dad was an avid rockhound all his life and for many years a well known collector in the Pacific Northwest, Washington State Mineral community. He focused much of his interest in odd localities, metallic element specimens, Butte Montana minerals, and Agates. With many of his microminerals photographed and posted in our Mindat gallery. ( http://www.mindat.org/gallery-653.html )
Dad spent almost every day reading the forum threads and looking at the new mineral uploads.
He was 73 when he passed on Monday.

73 is way too young to leave this planet.
