Mike, I want to thank you and Philip for creating the most definitive history of turquoise in America ever written. This is a task that was sorely needed and you two did it! You can be proud of your legacy of adding a tremendous resource to the turquoise industry. Philip in particular has spent decades researching the material for parts I and II and you have masterfully organized that material into an encyclopedic resource that will be famous for a looong time! Best wishes to you both!
