Donna!

Fascinating article, many thanks! Great to hear from you, if only a fly-by! Hope all's well with you and yours. Any chance you might make it to upcoming Ruckus?

Very interesting to see they found such an old natural pearl while excavating in the Kimberleys! Thanks for letting us know here.

Donna!!! Are you calling us old?? Come to the Ruckus and we can all prove we are not!

That's a really interesting find and article!

Wow. That is an amazing find. Off to the museum and tagged as "priceless" I would guess.

Hey Gang!

We're going to try to make it to the Ruckus, but we're already traveling in July.

I do miss all you PG'ers!
