BOOK OF LETTERS RECALLS FIRST BITE OF ROCKHOUND BUG
"Why did you become a rockhound?" Marguerite Beymer asked amateur gem and mineral collectors throughout the United States. The answers—68 of them—make interesting reading in Mrs. Beymer's newly published book, "Rockhounds in the Making." Some of the writers were interested in rocks from childhood; others were introduced to the hobby later by friends, in school or through a business assignment. A few, like Mr. and Mrs. Emil Waisanen of Custer, South Dakota, turned to Nature and rock-collecting as comfort in time of sorrow.
Every collector has a story about his interest in rocks, his first specimen, the initial field trip. Not only do these stories make good reading, but they also suggest unique projects--like G. W. Weber's rock urn constructed of stones from every one of the 48 states--and introduce potential traders to rockhound readers planning vacation trips.
Of particular interest to jade lovers is the story of the late J. L. Kraft of Chicago, president of Kraft Foods Company and dean of American jade collectors, and the history of his jade window in Chicago's North Shore Baptist Church. A picture of the window accompanies his letter.
A few other photographs of collectors and specimens illustrate the book.
The book contains a section re her husband, Floyd Beymer.
Published by the author, printed by Caxton Printers, Caldwell, Idaho, 112 pages. (Published in "Desert" magazine, May 1953, pg 36.)
Marguerite also published "Rock Trails and Tales" in 1992 (Publisher: W.L. Lowther, 1992)
