THE CAPITAL MINERAL CLUB’S BEST AUTHOR
As mentioned in the December 2001 newsletter, the Capital Mineral Club was going to try
having a best article contest. Any submissions had to be self written by a club member and relate
to the hobby. It was hope that this would bring new and varied articles that might normally not
make it into a local club’s newsletter. The winner to be voted by the club’s members would have
their choice of one year’s subscription to their favorite magazine ( Rock & Mineral, Mineralogical
Record, etc.) or a club sweatshirt. The following is the list of this year’s entries:

newsletter and possibly winning a year of your favorite magazine or a club sweatshirt. Remember
must be a self written hobby related article by a club member to count. Please submit all 2003
