Hi Folks....

    A.A.S. in Environmental Health in 73, BBA in marketing in
    '76....A.J.P.(GIA) in 2002... 

    Seven years in retail with Target Stores, Industrial Distribution
    since then... 

    'Twas a fateful day that I picked ip a copy of Simon and Shcuster's
    "Gems And Precious Stones" at the local half price book store... 

    Got into the stones....and since one has to do something with them,
    jewelry along the way.... 

    The interesting thing about the stones.....is that it's a never
    ending thing.... 

    Along the way I've other interests.....the concept of the personal
    computer..think back to TI-99, CPM, DOS, Internet without
    pictures....35mm photography..the heavy metal Minolta stuff, martial
    art, target shooting...Aromatherapy... 

    The stones are more fascintating for me than all of the rest... 

    *SIGH*....as Con Fu Tzu wished another lifetime for the study of the
    I Ching, so I, for the stones.... 

    Bumped into an old friend a month back and told her of my
    affliction... 

    She told me...."I always thought you were a stoner......"
