Strata Gem March 2005
President's Message
Our dear friend and club member Lillie Olsen recently passed away. She will be missed by all. Our hearts go out to her sister Dorothy and Dorothy's husband Vernon Petersen as this sad time. At our last meeting we discussed future field trips. We decided that a trip to the Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah would be a good field trip for March. Duane Gren, our field trip chairman suggested that we have that field trip on March 5th because then it will not conflict with Ogden Gem and Mineral show on the 12th and 13th, or a gold show that will be held on March 19th and 20th. So our field trip to the museum will be on Saturday, March 5th at 10:00 a.m. The field trip will be before our next meeting, so I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to attend both our field trip and to support the Ogden show. At our next meeting, Sarah Clark, a graduate geologist who has recently joined or club, will give a talk. We will also have a silent auction at the meeting. I talked to Phil and Dixie Salm recently, and it sounds like dry washing for gold in Quartzsite is nigh on to impossible due to rain and more rain.
Hope to see you at our next meeting!
Your President, Bob Titus

In Memory Of Lillie S. Olsen A Loved & Cherished Member
Lillie & Lida, lost their husbands about the same time. She was a great strength for my mother. They were going through the same problems at the same time. Mother always looked forward to the Logan Gem Show, so she could go out & visit with Lillie. Now they are both with their loved ones. Lillie will be missed, but will always be our hearts.
