Sunshine News
The Georgia Mineral Society is more than a club -- it is a family. When someone in the GMS family has good news or unfortunately, bad news, the rest of the club is there to congratulate or hold hands.
The Sunshine Chair gathers and reports club member news.

This is my first Sunshine article since taking over the position. I'm told we've got a couple of key GMS players on the disabled list -- temporarily, we hope! First, Juergen, as we all know, has had his shoulder surgery, and he is doing well post-surgery. If he behaves and follows his physical therapist's directions, he should be back lifting rocks in a few months. But until then, no field trip fun for Juergen! Second, Kim Cochran is down and out with a knee issue. Hopefully, he will be back with us soon. Let's all wish these two intrepid rockhounds a speedy recovery.
I am very sad to report that one of our GMS members, Judy Reedy, is on hospice care. Judy is also the mother of former member Mary Porter, and for years Judy would travel down each Mother's Day weekend from her home in Pittsburgh both to visit Mary and Dylan and to volunteer all weekend at our show. She is a delightful lady, and my heart goes out to Judy, Mary, and the rest of the family. Please keep them in your thoughts.
If you are aware of anyone who is ill or who is celebrating any type of milestone, please contact me. Thank you.
Shine on! Liz
