[meteorite-list] A dealer with a heart.
Dear Meteorite Flavored Folks, I write this as a testimonial to one of the most caring and esteemed dealers in our meteorite community. Here is a lady whose heart is as generous and grand as the great state of Colorado, where she resides. She has a heart filled with caring and compassion for her customers, as well as her fellow man. She is a rarity in these times of economic uncertainty and personal financial concerns. She is one who gives without being asked. My wife Kathy and I made a major (for us) purchase from this fine lady some months back. I briefly mentioned that we would be on a diet of bologna and stale, dry bread for many months to come in order to afford the rare specimen that we were purchasing. Then, as luck would have it, Dr. Ehlmann released yet another fine and precious specimen from that most wondrous of collections of Texas meteorites, the Monnig Collection. Having learned my lesson several years back about rare specimens not lasting long on the open market, I (with Kathy's gracious permission and in collusion) decided to bite the bullet and acquire that next expensive rarity for our Texas collection. Again, I mentioned to our favorite dealer that we would probably have to go on "half rations" of our bologna and dry bread diet in order to survive our decision to keep our Texas Collection as our foremost consideration. (The kids starved years ago early in our collection process. Still feel bad about that, but we must let bygones be bygones. Water under the bridge, as it were.) Imagine our surprise when the specimen arrived and in the box were not only the rare meteorite and its documentation but also a huge stack of current food coupons. Now we can have cheese and mayonnaise on our bologna sandwiches. And there were coupons for burritos, for Pillsbury dinner rolls, for Pillsbury frozen cookies, for Red Baron French Bread Paninis, for Chef Boyardee ravioli and beefaroni as well as a variety of "Forkables", coupons for juices, potpies, and Ball Park Franks. And the list could go on and on. We'll eat like kings and queens this winter and have our meteorites, too. What more could poor folks ask? Now I ask you, is there a finer, more generous meteorite dealer on this planet, or any other planet that we know about? I think not. Without mentioning specific names, can you even in your wildest dreams imagine a Farmer, a Blood, or a Cottingham helping to feed their hungry customers in these dire times? (I lied about not mentioning names.) Again, not damned likely. And so, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, I nominate Ms. Anne Black as the most humane and thoughtful of existing Meteorite Dealers. I ask that the powers that be (Mr. Bostick, et al, if memory serves) initiate and produce an award to be presented at the Tucson Auction/ Awards Ceremony this coming year for "The Most Generous and Caring Meteorite Dealer Known to Mankind". Best regards to all, Jerry Wallace Odessa, Texas P.S. to Mr. Mike Farmer... Please read and understand the above letter in the spirit in which it was written, an attempt at humor, and don't get all warped out of shape just because I mentioned your name. You, Mr. Blood and Mr. Cottingham are all fine dealers deserving of recognition as well. I have been a customer of all of you over the years but none of you have ever helped feed me when I made extravagant purchases from you.

Re: [meteorite-list] A dealer with a heart.
Some would say that the kinder dealer is the one who-- like a bartender-- cuts you off after you've had too much: "sorry, buddy, you've had enough meteorites for now." Other dealers cut you off, seeing that you can't afford it. "Black Anne", on the other hand, devised a scheme by which you could squeeze out a few more dollars to send to her-- "Coupons!" she exclaimed, cackling and rubbing her hands together while kicking a puppy. (The above post is entirely fictional, any resembelance to the motives of any meteorite dealers is purely coincidental.
