THANKS AND GOOD-BYE

After 22 years, the Maine Mineral Symposium has now come to an end. This was not an easy decision for the Symposium Board of Directors. We enjoyed organizing the meeting and greatly appreciated the good feedback from participants. However, we have done it for as long as we can. We think it’s better to go out on a high note, or as Neil Young put it, “It’s better to burn out than to fade away.”

The corporate status of the Maine Mineral Symposium will be maintained to protect the name and reputation of the event, and to spend remaining funds in a way that will benefit the mineral collecting hobby.

Thanks to all who attended, gave talks, prepared exhibits, hosted field trips, set up as dealers, and helped in other ways! And special thanks to the Maine Geological Survey for their logistical support and hosting the Symposium web page.

Woodrow Thompson, President
Maine Mineral Symposium Association, Inc.
