Ed I live in the UK and I would prefer to spend some more time doing rocks.
Heres an example - today I wanted to go and buy some malachite but instead im going to clean the conservatory roof and its going to be very wet and very cold up the ladder.

Ed,
Mark is also very modest, he is the man who started it all! Mark is the tops of all of the great folks here, he gave us hounds a place to gather, and the best gathering place I have ever found.

Gosh. The UK is so far away. Do you ever have reason to come to the United States of America Mark? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Maybe even......TEXAS (the bestest of all states)?

Mark is the owner and administrator of the whole Rock Tumbling Hobby site. He is also a relatively new daddy, Luke being about 8 months old now. He's just a heck of a nice guy and definitely has a spot on my "one of the nicest people I've never met" list.

Condor
P.S. And by the way, thanks for having this site. It's the best. Period.

Stop it - on with the tumbling! Meant to get some malachite going today (my tumbling downfall of unsuccess) - a big step into getting the barrels going - but had to clean the roof on the conservatory it was full of green slime. Took hours - will try again themorrow. On with the rocks and pics eh? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Hey, you forgot about to mention that he also likes to dabble in woodworking. But I agree, he runs the best damn forum on the net, rocks or otherwise. And I salute you Mark!

Good picture of mark and it also looks like one of the members of his rock club found a REALLY big agate just below the light house light just behind him !!!!
