I have been a mineral collector since about 1971. My first collecting trip that started it all was to Agoura, California, to collect ferrierite on clinoptilite. I have been at it ever since. I like to field collect but am not opposed to silver picking rocks for my collection, especially when I don’t think I will be able to collect equivalent, get to that locality, or I like the piece.
I worked 20 years as manager for Jewel Tunnel Imports (a mineral import company, wholesale; Rock H Currier, chief factotum and hatchet man). Ten years ago I went to work for a networking company, where I am today. I keep a hand in the mineral hobby as Associate Cartographer for Rocks & Minerals magazine.
Education: MS (Geology), California State University Los Angeles , my thesis was Mineral Paragenesis of the Grand Reef Mine Aravaipa Mining District, Graham County, Arizona, August 1981. BA (Geography) with concentration in air photo interpretation and cartography.

William W Besse's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
William W Besse's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
