Since I am not on the boards very often, we were not aware of what had happened until this afternoon when I got a telephone call telling us this terrible news. We have known Edna and Weldon for many years and this is not the news anyone wants to hear. Edna, we want you to know that our prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there!!! Mary M and Stan

It has been sooooo long since I have posted on any of the boards, I almost forgot how to do it and not too sure I'm correct now. Just wanted to thank you for the report. I have been hopeing someone would do this. This is the second time we have missed this show since 1989. Really hated not being there but appreciate the report. Mary M --mm--

Me too!!! --mm--

Just checking to see if there is anymore news about Weldon???? Hang in there guys. Prayers and thoughts with you both!! --mm--

I had not checked the boards for several days and when I did, I was shocked to see the news about Patry. I had known her for a long time through the boards and was lucky enough to meet her in person at the 2004 Dallas show. We had several visits during the show and she had some of her outstanding marbles with her. What a pleasure! My condolences to her family. I do have these two pictures that I found. I thought maybe her family might like to copy them. --mm- - This is Patry on the right and on the left in both pictures.

Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't try to send that darn thing. I was trying to find the right one to send for Sue and it was NOT that one. For some reason, I can't find the full section of these darn emoticons and this one just poped up and it was GONE. So I'll just SAY it................Thanks Sue for hanging in there and I also wanted to say THANKS to Andrea for showing the beautiful Superboy. It is an outstanding marble. --mm--

:worthless:

WOW!! That is one beautiful marble! Superman...Superboy I really don't care. The purest would call it a Superboy since it does not have a true yellow, but to tell you the truth these purests give me a pain. I call them whatever I want and have been collecting them longer than they had a name. :Happy_050: --mm--

It's been so long since I h ave posted, I'm not sure I remember how..........Anyway, I asked Stan about what kind of marble that they called Snotties when he was a kid. (about 100 years ago) He said they called all slags....Snotties. It didn't make any difference just what color it might be. Now I have no idea if this is correct, it's just what the kids in Oklahoma called them. -mm--

Some people just have more dollars than sense!! --mm--

Could that neat marble be a Pelt Ruby Bee?? It looks alot like mine. They all have aventurine, even in the Red. --mm--

Ken, I doubt if Brian ever saw this one, as I can't remember if we ever took it to Amana. It did have a Peach base. I wrote about it in the other post (Big Guinea). We bought it in'92 and sold it in '93 in one of Bob Blocks catalog auctions. It was 29/32s and at the time, was the largest known. It did have a blow hole but that didn't bother too much. I don't know who bought it but did hear that it was someone from one of the NW states. By the way, that's a beauty that Lou is showing for you!!! There just aren't many of those Big Ones around, are there? The small one showing is 5/8th I think. Sorry I only have two pictures of this guy (the other on my Website) and neither one is very good. (before digital of course) --mm--

] These are interesting aren't they? I certainly do not know which one is correct but I'm betting on these, as opposed to the white base. This is a little larger, but the resolution is so poor, it can't be enlarged much more. --mm--

I remember Ron when he and Gino gave a Peltier program at Amana some years ago. He hasn't been around Amana for several years. So sorry to hear this news. --mm--

Yes, thank you Guy for the information. Also a thank you to Mike, as I was wondering about his family etc. I'll miss the visits with Mel, Jonie and their neat dog Diesel. They always had the last room on the far side of the Holiday at Amana. He also was a member of the Tulsa Area Marble club. --mm--

I just have a very few words to say about this interesting subject............................I certainly DO agree with Don's (Poplarhead) opinion about the exotics!!!!!!!! ---mm--- PS. I'm not a newbie!
