Reno Chris Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Jim, You are not outdated, you have the well respected voice of experience. Even in my lifetime things certainly have changed a lot. I read the other day that many people carry in their pockets (in the form of a cell phone) more computer power than the lunar lander carried when it landed on the moon. Who would have imagined that? I am sure the Pomona show will be a great one with lots of interesting equipment, familiar faces and fun things to do. I am sure all who attend will enjoy themselves.

dutch john Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Well Mr. Reno Chris... (Chris will be there representing the ICMJ)..... If'n we are totalk about changes over the past years, keep in mind that I'm a Hoover Baby, HerbertHoover was president when I was born. There were many changes back then, mydiapers for an example. My mom diid all of the laundry using a scrubbing board,heating the water over a wood stove, homemade lye soap and hanging out the clothesto dry... The Great Depression in the Copper Camp of Ely Nevada with the mines shut down;bank failures throughout the Nation... Our Great Nation was rocked back on its heelsby a dreadful punch that makes this "recession" just a bump in the road... Next camea horrible war WW-2, then Korea and "Nam... Today is no picnic, but our Nation isstrong and resiliant and we wll pull togethrer and come out stronger!.....Nuf' said about the past. Lets focus on the fun things like the upcoming PomonaGPAA gold show... So again I ask, what is known about the 2013 Pomona GPAA show?Details anyone? Same as in the past? Just Asking... .

dutch john Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well here is update...I now understand the show will be in Hall E?.... Stuff happens to change the best of plans.I now will miss the Saturday show... But I will be there all day Sunday.... I may be zipping around in my wheelchair or in a booth. For those of you who will be at the show on Sunday and have a mind to look me up; justask around for me as I may be at Gembooks or the PLP, or Pedersen's Detectors booth.We can talk of many things; especially the little known and considered worked out epithermal preciousmetal placer deposits which are now being very succesfully worked with metal detectors; or on other subjectsof interest.
