Hello All,

Should be in bed by now because it's 01:04 hrs our time but a lot of things
are still crossing my mind: memories, words, emails. Monday, 27 Aug 2001,

Mineral show next year."

Alas, it never happened!

Alas, it never happened!

We had booked our flight to Tucson for the 2008 show, Twink had a room reserved for us
but my Pauline's doctor advised against such a flight to Tucson because of her heart
problems and the stroke she suffered ten years ago.

It would really have been a "life-altering experience" but I hope that both Jim and Richard
(and Darryl Futrell too) understand that this would have been too high a risk for my Pauline.

Will include Darryl, Jim, and Richard in my prayers tonight!
