ROCK ON!

               ROCK ON!

   I joined my wife, son, daughter-in-law,

granddaughter (and her friend), and our

youngest grandson to go to a "Rock Show"

Saturday. But there were no big bands to

be seen! You see this truly was a "Rock

show", as in Rocks and Minerals!

      It was the "Autumn Mineralfest" mineral,

fossil,and gem show held at the Macungie 

Memorial park not far from Allentown.

      We walk over and past rocks everyday

but seldom stop to take a close look. Yet

many, some above and some below ground,

can be polished and turned into beutiful

treasures. One vendor proudly displayed

some from the Trescow area not far from

Hazleton. Many have been turned into

attractive jewelry while some others are

impressive in their naturan state. Youngsters

like our grandkids could even purchase bags

of sand then pan the material in a water sluce

to discover prescious gems> One grandson even

turned up an arrowhead! Make you want to

look more closely at the rocks and other

minerals you usually ignor. Sometimes it

oays to get "stoned!"

  Hope you're well, and that all your NEWS\is good!
