I was going to get some but spaced it.
You can contact Steve about these at

15. Steve Sturtz hanging out shooting the breeze with

from the Tribute Runs. Many of these
are featured in his new book, “2008 Jabo Classics: The Experimentals”.
Steve can be reached at

The swirl I got is in the group of blue and white swirls on the upper

getting in touch with him about marbles can pm me and I’ll give you his number.

27. Lonnie Conyers, Lonnie is one half of the “Marble
Nuts” team. His partner in crime,
Bud Shute was missing in action when I took this photo.
28. This is kind of interesting. As
we were leaving this wacked out cat jumped out of the bushes, picked my son up
by his ears and shook him till all of his marbles fell out of his pockets and
then snatched up the marbles and made off with them.
It happened in the blink of an eye, I didn’t have time to react except to
snap a quick picture of the culprit.
If anyone knows who this marble bushwhacker is please let me know, I’d like to
get my son’s marbles back. As you
can tell from the picture he is really distressed over the whole affair
