All of our museums and dealers are aware of the Canadian Theme this year and are incorporating and competing using this theme. Other museums are: The Smithsonian Institute, A. E. Seaman Museum, The Carnegie Institute, The University of Toledo, The University of Michigan, Wayne State University, Cincinnati Museum, Tellus Science Museum, and Cranbrook Institute of Science. I have attached an updated list of dealers.
I apologize for not responding sooner:-(

And in person it's even more crazy.....
He is doing a really great thing by allowing these pieces to be appreciated by so many people... they had just been in storage for decades, and would have probably been bought for pennies on the dollar by some dealer or another, and then just have disappeared.

Chris, Scott, Tim, & Ibrahim-
Would you mind if I quoted parts of your responses (without your last names) in a letter i am enclosing with our new show flyer to be distributed to schools in S.E. Michigan? They would only be used in the cover letter.

Absolutely! I love the Detroit show, and look forward to it every year. You can quote anything I said, with or without my name.
Thanks,

The Cranbrook mineral collection is always worth seeing and they allow photography of their mineral specimens (I asked when I went last Fall). They also have numerous artifacts on display including an entire wall of stone arrowheads.
The Cranbrook Institute of Science is located at 39221 Woodward Avenue in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and their website address is http://science.cranbrook.edu/

I am planning to be there at least Saturday, earlier in the day so I can participate in the Carnegie silent auction (I think it usually ends around 2pm). If all goes well, I may be there on Sunday as well, but I am still unsure about that.
I plan on hanging around Chris a bit and bugging him, if he doesn't mind. :-) That is, once I take in the display cases (can't wait to see that case of coppers he is bringing) and do a walkthrough.

We are really excited to have Dr. George Robinson, the curator of the A.E. Seaman Museum located in Houghton, MI. This is the official mineral museum of Michigan. Prior to this employment, he was with the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.

He will be available for at various times or book signings of his new book: The A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum: It's History and Collection.
Other author book singings include:
Dr. Mark Camp (U. of Toledo) Roadside Geology of Ohio; Roadside Geology of Indiana; Ohio Oil & Gas.
Dr. Patty Rice: Amber-Golden Gem of the Ages.
Nancy Steyer Stapleton, children's author Be A Gem-Let Your Goodness Shine
Paleo Joe: Many different children's fossil books; Complete Guide to Michigan Fossils
The Smithsonian is displaying the jewelry of Cynthia Bach; "The George Pendant"; Sidney Mobell's solid gold mousetrap-to name a few.
So glad you all will be able to attend.

They were at the show signing and selling their book. Very informative and attractive book well worth the $35.
