1. Introduction
===============
Greetings. I have received additional information about the banquet and the
mineral action/sales taking place in Franklin/Ogdensburg during the weekend of
the Franklin Show. I'm sending this to pass that information on.
To Herb Yeates and his family: welcome back to America.
There is currently a problem with the FrOg On-Line Archive web site. It is not
known whether the site hosting company is internally re-organizing things, or
the site hosting company has been bought up by NBCi, or what. Just keep
trying. If there is a change in the url, I'll let you know in the first FrOg
On-Line after I learn and verify the new url. If, while the archive site is
inaccessible, someone needs a copy of a back issue, e-mail me; I have them all.
Hope to see y'all at the show. I will be spending most of both show days in
the "Pond". Stop by and visit!
Here goes....

Hello all,
The annual FOMS banquet this year takes place September 23, 2000,
Saturday night at the Lyceum Hall on Franklin Ave, foot of Main Street in
Franklin. Guests are expected to arrive at 6:30PM and dinner will be served
at 7 PM. Speaker will be Jay Lininger, editor of, The Matrix. Seating will be
limited to 75 people. Cost of the tickets are $14 each. This will be a
all-you-can-eat buffet style affair which includes coffee and dessert by the
same caterer we had last year. AND as always, for those pickled insomniacs,
it is BYOB. There will be a auction.
Nuff said crew!

Hello all,
You will all be happy to know that the Sterling Hill Mining Museum's web
site is now back up after being down for two weeks! Also in this issue of our
web site is a preview of some of the items that will be available at the Paul
& Irene Chorney Collection Auction during the Franklin Show weekend. Just
click on the Choreny Auction Collection button and you can see the list plus
images of the specimens when you click on the listed items. Keep in mind
that there will be at least 300 specimens available other than the silent
auction items. They are priced singly and in lots.
And we finally caught the black snake that has been making a guest
appearance during our mine tour. Bob caught it and put it back outside where
it belongs. It was caught after being seen during Bill Mattison's tour late
Monday. Never a dull moment !
See y'all
Steve
The url for the Sterling Hill Mining Museum web site is "www.sterlinghill.org".
Well, fortunately, the snake did not attempt to "serpentize" anyone except Bob
Hauck (as far as I know). Hmmmm, would a serpentized Bob Hauck fluoresce?
The Franklin Mineral Museum will be offering many boxes of specimens for sale
in Kraissal Hall both days of the Franklin Show. Many (or maybe all?) of the
specimens are from the Dr. Eugene Sensel collection.
During the Labor Day weekend, I was in the FrOg area helping both museums, and
I got to see much of what will be offered for sale. Both the Sensel collection
and the Chorny collection include colorful specimens, mineralogically/
geologically significant specimens, and micros.
