Roy Starkey and Rusty's friends in the world of mineralogy
All of Rusty's treasured minerals, books and cabinets have gone to grateful new owners and this donation reflects the proceeds raised through this effort. Two cabinets have been used to rehouse John Ruskin's mineral collection at the Ruskin Museum, Coniston and four additional cabinets, a library of books and a selection of specimens are going to the Museum of Lead Mining at Wanlockhead, Scotland to help establish a field study centre. Thank you to everyone.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
