Dave, no one deserves this honor more than you!  You have expanded my gray matter considerably and brought an infectious enthusiasm and clarity to a topic you clearly have a passion for.
Congratulations!

Mabruk from Dubai Dave! :-) Now I have to find a copy of your book, I think I saw a link above!
edit: The Secret Lives of Thundereggs will be the very first one I read, as we are still very much learning, I have wondered about the naming of that! Niiiiice!

Congratulations Dave, not only are you an irreplaceable RTHling, you're a really decent man also. I'm honored to have met you and call you friend. I only wish we could have spent time together out in the field when we were young.

Thanks ALL, I appreciate the honor! This was special, far beyond anything expected. My mind is very curious. I have to answer every question, even if it requires long searching the net - what a wonderful time to be alive! And special friends! My 3rd grade teacher who had a large pyrite cube on her desk, my math teacher who taught me to love the mysteries of numbers, My English teacher who said "Still waters run deep." Bob Rollins who taught me lapidary and Silver smithing, and took me rock collecting; The Rock Clubs around Provo and Salt Lake City, and The members on this website who always inspire me! The new images and data that always appear here to tickle my curiosity! Thanks to all who made this possible!  |
