The owner of the Smithville Rock Shop passed away this month,I just found out today. Lorene Kohut,86 ran the rockshop many years.A few of you from the Houston and Austin area are familiar with her. I sold many slabs there over the years,and will truly miss visiting with her.

Well, crap. I used to stop in every time I went to AUSTIN.
In fact, I passed by there a few weeks ago. Because of a time crunch, I was unable to stop. Wish I had.
Lorene was a very nice woman -- always insisted folks take a tumbled stone before they left -- regardless of age.
RIP.
Matt
