Gary,
   
  I was told that hunters would turn the place up-side down. You know some people would, without respect for anything. Do I have to remind you?

  Gem show briefs
  Dealer robbed 2nd year in row
  Five gemstones worth as much as $130,000 were reported stolen from a dealer at a gem show at the Best Western Executive Inn, 333 W. Drachman St.
  Owner Alijohn Nourestani was having breakfast on Sunday within view of his display of tourmaline gemstones when five pieces were stolen, he said yesterday
  The showcase for his business, Nourestan Gems & Minerals - The Miners of Fine Tourmaline, was draped with a sheet when the theft took place, police were told.
  Nourestani, who has homes in Afghanistan and New Mexico, said yesterday that at the same show last year, he had several tourmaline gemstones stolen that were valued at between $8,000 and $10,000. He also had friends who had goods that were stolen, he said.
  "I've been coming to the gem show in Tucson for 17 years," he said. "I love Tucson. But we'd like the city to know we have problems. There are gangsters in Tucson."
  Police described the suspect as a 5-foot-7-inch man, about 165 pounds and wearing a flannel shirt and black pants.
