49th Atlantic Micromounters' Conference:
49th Atlantic Micromounters Conference at James Madison University Saturday June 3, 2023
For 2023, the Atlantic Micromounters Conference will be different. We will hold the Conference on Saturday, June 3 at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
The conference will start at 10:30 am, so that people from the DC area or similar distances can drive to Harrisonburg on Saturday morning without losing much sleep. There are many inexpensive motels in Harrisonburg if you want to arrive on Friday or stay over on Saturday night.
Dr. Elizabeth Johnson, Professor and Curator, will give a talk about the Phil Cosminsky and Fred Keidel micromount collections at 11:00, then we will break for lunch. (We will offer guidance on dining.) In the afternoon we will visit the stunning James Madison Museum Mineral Museum (in two groups if necessary), mixed with viewing and trading micromounts till about 3:30. For a preview of the JMU museum, look at the article in the Mineralogical Record, volume 51, page 703, September-October 2020. There are also some photos and information on the JMU website: https://www.jmu.edu/mineralmuseum/index.shtml.
Because of JMU rules, we cannot have dealers or an auction, but we can trade, and there will be giveaways. The attendance will be limited to 50 people. There will be no fee for the conference. Please reply to Michael Pabst if you plan to attend. michaeljpabst@yahoo.com
