Re: [meteorite-list] park forest fall on tv now
Happy Barwellmas ;-) Or upload the tv prog somewhere that us folks in the other remote parts of the Universe can access it (with a link on the list)...then that would be marvelous. Just a thought that as Tucson is always after Christmas then family can't browse around for presents...so all you dealers are missing out (and collectors for that matter)surprised I havn't seen seen some of you selling meteorite gift vouchers...would work online too?as most family have no idea what to buy in the form of a meteorite for their loved one then that would help everybody out :-) Hope everyone has an excellent festive break before the build up to Tucson.

Re: [meteorite-list] Merry Christmas ! Harvey Nininger Signed book ending today! AD
Hi John and Martin I remember both of those books rather well since I sold both of them a few years ago. They came out of a collection of books from Tom Palmer a well known mineral dealer from El Paso Texas; http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=808 That is what the TP stands for in the upper right corner of Martin's image. He had the largest collection of signed Nininger books I have ever seen. He also had what I would call a complete set of signed books. Here is the set of his books; http://jensenmeteorites.com/BookNiningerSet.htm I sold it as well to a fellow list member. I remember the signed book that John had as it had Nininger's original signature traced over. I believe this tracing was done much later and not by Nininger as I found a paper in with Palmer's stuff that used the same color ink pen. The paper was covered with several obviously forged Nininger signatures. I did disclose my suspicions of the tracing to the person I sold the book to. It obviously it was not John. Tom also had another inscribed book but it did not have Nininger's signature. I guessed Nininger was in the process of signing the book but then got to talking about meteorites and just forgot to finish it. Unfortunately the book had an obviously forged signature in the same color ink and style as the Palmer paper but not the same color ink as the inscribed portion. I'm not saying that Tom Palmer forged the signature just that the practice signatures paper in his estate seemed to match the signature in the book. I sold the book as an unsigned copy with a forged signature.

[meteorite-list] Fw: Merry Christmas ! Harvey Nininger Signed book ending today! AD
Hi Mike and Martin, Wow that's some story, this book has some history now, maybe it's even worth more with the original signature and the speculation of the enhanced signature overwritten in black, you know what they say there's no such thing as bad publicity but maybe that's just wishful thinking since its now a suspected forgery. Thank you for preventing any tarnish to my reputation. Either way If I found that there was any speculation after the book was sold, I would have given a full refund to the winner. And to that note, Im sorry this book is no longer for sale. Before I thought it was an unusually signed Nininger book, but now the plot thickens. Mike do you remenber who you sold it to? Did you sell the book to someone in Germany, where i purchased the book from Hiele Arendt who resided in Leipzig. And I wonder how much he bought the book for But so far this book has been in the Palmer collection, the Jensen collection, and the Higgins collection, I wonder how many colletions this book has passed through. As far as im concerned, this is the most exciting book I ever owned! Thanks for the information!

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Magazine + Season's Greetings
Dear Listees: Season's greetings from Tucson. I know we'll be seeing many of you here in just over a month! Tucson 2010: The Year We Made Contact : ) That's one for the Arthur C. Clarke fans. As this year draws to a close, I'd like to thank Nancy and Larry Lebofsky (editors), Jessica Park (design), the editorial advisory board, the production team, and all the writers and photographers who have given us another fine year of Meteorite magazine. I recently received the most recent issue, and the tribute to the late, great O. Richard Norton is excellent. Yesterday, I realized that there are about twice as many subscribers to the M-List as there are subscribers to Meteorite. If you are not a magazine subscriber, may I ask why not? : ) Meteorite is a unique and outstanding publication and many or most of those who are involved in producing it play their part strictly for the love of it (i.e. they work on a pro-bono basis). Meteorite needs your support. Let's see it grow and become even better in 2010. You can subscribe via the website: http://meteoritemag.uark.edu And a few other people who deserve a special tip of the hat for giving selflessly to the meteorite community all year long: The IMCA Board of Directors Art Jones, founder of the Meteorite List Paul Harris and Jim Tobin of Meteorite Times Bob Falls and the Encyclopedia of Meteorites Michael Johnson and RFSPOD Thank you all.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Magazine + Season's Greetings
Hi Geoff and List, I agree on all points. Every collector should subscribe to Meteorite Magazine and every advanced collector should join the Meteoritical Society. The former is the best resource for the meteorite enthusiast and the latter provides MAPS, which is the best learning tool for those interested in learning more about meteoritics. Best regards and Happy Festivus! MikeG On 12/24/09, Notkin geok...@notkin.net wrote: Dear Listees: Season's greetings from Tucson. I know we'll be seeing many of you here in just over a month!

[meteorite-list] Merry Christmas Everyone
Hello Everyone, I just wanted to wish everyone on the Meteorite List a Merry Christmas I have been absent from meteorites for much of this year as I wantd to complete some astronomy projects in celibration of 2009 being the International year of Astronomy. http://www.astronomy2009.org/ It was in 1609 when Galileo first turned a home made telescope upon the heavens and began systematically observing objects in space. The next year, he published Sidereus Nuncius (Sidereal or Starry Messenger) and changed the course of Astronomy forever. http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Galileo.html Anyway, Merry Christmas and I hope 2010 is a pleasant and peaceful year for us all. -Walter Branch __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Signed copies
Hi all - Amazingly enough, I had a box of books lifted from me in 2006, and whoever did it, then had the audacity to sign them, and offer them as signed copies. Generally, my own signed copies are now signed to the recipient. Representative Boehlert's copy has been over at amazon for $70, and it is IMO a good buy at that price. One of the finest public servants I ever met, and it's too bad he did not run for senate. As always, meteorite list members can contact me for the personally signed copy special. Sorry, but as the impacts were mostly cometary, it's not a field guide to meteorite hunting sites; and as its length was so long, I could not even include Native American meteorite lore. good hunting, and a better year ahead for all, E.P.

[meteorite-list] Wishing the Best from Florida
Hi Everyone! I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holiday from warm Florida! Here is a photo of a few friends who stopped by my place (I think at least two of them needed to get out of the cold!)... http://www.lunarrock.com/FLholiday2009/FLholiday.jpg Merry Christmas, and a wonderful holiday to everyone! Greg P.S. Thanks Leigh Anne for the idea of insitu photos of the day! ;-) PPSS - I think Mr. Snowman melted a bit from the camera flash after a few re-takes! __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show best dates
Hi Julie and all, Yes, The Inn Suites (now Hotel Tucson City Center?) Is the highest, by far, concentration of meteorite dealers. However, the TIME you come should include the following: The IMCA dinner (if you are an IMCA member, though I think all meteorite enthusiasts are welcome) Wed, Feb 4 The Birthday Bash - Fri, Feb 5 this year (big event of all meteorite people celebrating the birthdays Of The Great Geoff Notkin and the REAL Steve Arnold) The Tucson Meteorite Auction Sat, Feb 6 this year (attended by most meteorite enthusiasts, where you can bid on over 100 lots of meteorite offerings). Best wishes, Michael On 12/23/09 1:44 PM, Richard Kowalski damoc...@yahoo.com wrote: Julie, for a first timer, there are two Must See locations The Arizona Mineral Fossil Show at the Hotel Tucson City Center - formerly InnSuites Hotel http://www.xpopress.com/AZ-AMFS-IS-show-schedule.html and the Arizona Mineral Fossil Show at the Ramada Ltd. http://www.xpopress.com/AZ-AMFS-RL-show-schedule.html As you can see they both run the full two weeks. You can spend a few days wandering both locations. The best days to go are the days you can make it! Obviously the better selection can be had at the beginning of the show, but often the best deals can be made at the end of the show, but there is so many neat things to see and buy, anytime is good!

Re: [meteorite-list] Tucson Show best dates
Hello Michael and List, I am very sorry to disagree with you Michael but the IMCA dinner is for IMCA members and their spouse/significant other only for one very simple reason: Space. I would be absolutely delighted to see every member of this List there, but I am sure the management of La Fuente would not be happy. So if you are a Member of the IMCA and would like to come, please contact Maria Haas (_dragons...@msn.com_ (mailto:dragons...@msn.com) ) as soon as possible, she is the one counting heads and making sure that La Fuente will have enough space for all of us. If you are not a member, I am sure I will see you at the Birthday party on Friday evening, and hopefully in my room in the Innsuites (now Hotel Tucson City Center, room 230). And if you are interested in becoming a member, just tell me or Maria. And another thing Michael: the IMCA dinner is on Thursday, Feb. 4. Very happy Holiday Season to everybody. Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Merry Christmas
G'Day All Katina and I would just like to wish all the members the best of Season's Greetings. I think Geoff made a great effort to list all and I agree with his list, but there are many more that should have been included. But you can't list them all. The list has had it's ups and downs, some good, some bad; but overall we are all connected in some way. Take Care, Be Safe and Enjoy your Families and Friends. Cheers John, Katina and Rockette IMCA # 2125 P.S. I hope this goes through. I've had a bummer of a year trying to post. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
