October 2011 Display Cases

September 2011 Display Cases
For the month of October, our displays will flip-flop from last month. The Fairway display cases will feature Canyonview resident Jane Ingram and Mountainview resident Larry Greenfield’s collection of beautiful geodes. Most geodes are estimated to be 7-10 million years old and are formed when mineral-laden liquids seep through certain types of rocks, often depositing some crystal formations in the cavities. These happy accidents of nature end up washed down into river beds later to be found, tapped open and enjoyed!

Joining the geodes is a very interesting collection of WWII military aircraft models made by Jim Dieli. His collection includes American, British, Japanese and Italian aircraft. They are extremely detailed, artfully done and very accurate, down to the miniature pilots.

Lakeside display cases will feature original woodworking projects designed by Parkside resident Robert Culp. He will display some 30 items from his collection, all made in the last 25 years! Robert has a Master’s degree in Industrial Arts Woodworking. You will find him working away, on a regular basis, in the La Costa Glen Hobby Shop. I wonder what he will make next?
