The Main Show at the Convention Center was well attended this year.  I tried to tally up in my head how many people I saw and spoke to and it was easily 350-400 people from around the globe!  So, I thought I would dedicate one of the reports to just people - actually some really hard working people who make the shows here in Tucson what they are and also some folks who are just great people in the hobby.  This is by no means even REMOTELY close a comprehensive list. That would require hundreds of pictures.  Rocks are the thing that have attracted people to the hobby but I have to tell you that this hobby is rich in interesting people and personalites. This is just a snap shot of some of the many people - many who maintain a lower profile but are really classy individuals - that I have come know and appreciate in this fascinating hobby.  Most of these are candid shots which I tend to find more interesting.
