_Wendell E Wilson and Tom Gressman from the Mineralogical Record were invited as expert mineral connoseurs and of course for the beautiful journal The Mineralogical Record which has been the Tzar of Mineralogical Journals for many decades. Here having breakfast at the just opened modern 5 star hotel The Smallville Hotel with very friendly staff, located only 500 m down the Damascus Road from the MIM Museum. I would HIGHLY recommend to stay here for a visit.
