relaxing Friday Afternoon Session we set up just after lunch. This first shot speaks a thousand words: Kip Maley.

Hi Cal!

I heard Dave say that he thought the "it's too small" excuse might work if Beri asked him why he wasn't wearing it . . .

Hi Ann! Quick thinking on his feet. Here is Dave on the torch for his fistime.

Beri handed her gift to Dave, a marble king tee shirt! Competitors & friends with great respect for the other, in another classic moment! Wonder when he will sport it?

We had A GREAT TIME!!! This "Groundbreaking Show" was filled with evidence of provenance by the Texas Marble Collectors, Inc. Please Do Not Miss the next one! Our heart and special Thanks goes out to pioneers Edna & Weldon Eaton, Steve Sturtz & Elizabeth Farrar; for whom we are truly gratefull for being invited to this event.

Sheryl & I witnessed just a small part of the hard work and planning it takes to put on a show of this magnitude. We send huge Mahalos (Thankyous)to Kip Maley & Lynn, Wil & Jennifer Menzies editors and creators of the quarterly publication "Flow Magazine", new friends, and generous supporters!
