About our two (at least) fellows strahlen.org members who were to Tucson, I haven't yet heard about Doug presentation but for sure I can say that this show was the Gail Spann one!!
With her husband, Jim, they won the Desautels trophy at the main show  :-o :-o :-o

Frank,

I will be in Tucson from the February 14 through 17. I will be at the Arthur Roe Micromount Symposium on Friday. February 15 as I have been asked to give a presentation on Pacific Northwest collecting. I will be talking about three collecting sites near Diamond Lake in Klamath County, Oregon. I plan on driving to Tucson so that I can get in some collecting during the trip.

Hope to see you there.
Doug

DEAR FRIENDS : WE JUST RETURNED FROM TUCSON , AND HAD THE CHANCE TO SEE DIFFERENT SHOWS.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH ONLY ONE LIFE TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL WHAT THIS GIGANTIC SHOW-CITY HAS TO OFFER.
AS WE ARE AGATE COLLECTORS , WE ADJUSTED TO LOOK FOR AGATES ONLY.AMONG THE BEST WE SAW , THE ONE TO MENTION IS "THE GEM SHOP" THAT WAS ALSO PRESENT AT MÜNICH FAIR 2005 WITH MAGNIFICENT AGATES.

WE ALREADY APPLIED TO HAVE OUR SHOW-ROOM AT THE INN SUITES FOR YEAR 2007.
WHAT WILL WE EXHIBIT? YES!!! AGATES.
GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA
