    I wanted to thank Rio Grande for their Catalog In Motion show here
    in Tucson during the gem show. It is consistently the best trade
    show I have ever attended for the jewelry industry. 

    This year I concentrated on Bonny Doon which had 2 booths this year.
    Phil Poier has really taken the Bonny Doon company to a new level.
    Phil's generosity and attention to the market he serves is exciting
    to someone who uses BD tools daily. I was able to test the new
    bracelet forming tools and talk in length to Phil about them and
    other areas of concern. I ended up buying them since they fill a
    need I have for forming heavy bracelets. I also looked at the new
    Silhouette Die Plate sets and became very interested in them. I will
    have to investigate them further but the CIM show allows me to see
    them in action and talk to BD about them in a way I otherwise would
    never have. 

    Some other people I always visit are Kate Wolfe, Barbara Carleton of
    Jewelry Design Manager, Cindy Lichfield of Cloud Dome. I love to
    talk to these people to find out what has developed in the past year
    with their products since I use the products everyday. 

    Kurt Henson from Rio was also very helpful to me this year answering
    questions about mass finishing products. 

Thanks Rio,
Sam Patania, Tucson
