What fantastic news! After a month or immeasurable trials for Walter, Sabrina and Rebeka, it sounds like everyone can breath a little bit easier. What a relief! I'm looking forward to seeing Walter back at his keyboard and joining his meteorite "family" again! Best, John Gwilliam At 04:30 PM

Re: [meteorite-list] Met Central posting problems

I'm having the same experience as Dean. A few posts that I've made don't show up on the list for three of four days - some of them never show up. This gets to be a real problem when trying to follow a thread. It's hard to keep everyone's posts in chronological order so that replies make sense.

Re: [meteorite-list] Last on Adamana for a while (I hope)

Dave, It was good to talk to you on the phone the other day. Thanks for the update and your always appreciated opinion. I hope to get up there and do a little scouting around with you before Summer. And, as far as I'm concerned, you and Schoner are the experts when it comes to Holbrook. Best,

Re: [meteorite-list] do meteorites fluoresce??

I've looked at dozens of meteorites under both short and long wave UV light saw no florescence. Best, John At 07:05 PM 2/26/2007, Jake Baker wrote: Does anyone know -- Do meteorites fluoresce? Could a person use a black light to look for them? Barb – Show Low, Az [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___

Re: [meteorite-list] Peruvian Crater

My guess is that Mr. Randall is obsessed with getting some recognition and some "atta boys." To most of us it's a no brainer - if you want to keep something a secret, don't tell anyone about it. A while back there was another "crater finder" who claimed he had found material at the site of hi

Re: [meteorite-list] Peruvian meteorite crater - friendly warning to hunters that may be considering...

Randall, What a charming fellow! Why don't you bring some of your "meteorites" to the Tucson Show next year and let everyone take a peek. A word of caution is in order though. If you make threats similar to these you've posted here, don't be surprised if some of the lads invite you to a " so

Re: [meteorite-list] Eyewitness Account of the Holbrook Fall

Some of us had the great fortune to know Pauline McCleve personally. She was a neighbor of mine from 1988 until her death. She passed away just a few years ago at the ripe old age of 106. Even in here later years, she never got tired of telling the Holbrook meteorite story. I can remember sit

Re: [meteorite-list] Some thoughts on Larry Atkin's Recent Holbrook Find

Bernd, Larry, Maria and List, Here's some more "food for thought" concerning the Holbrook strewnfield. One of my best friends, Dave Andrews, lives in Holbrook and has hunted the strewnfield hundreds of times. He was Larry and Maria when Larry made his find of a lifetime. Dave and I talked on t

Re: [meteorite-list] Lang proxy bid?

Mike and List, Since I don't have a copy of the Lang's "Auction Terms" available to me, I'll have to assume that your statement is correct. If that is the case, and there was no other bid after Peter Marmet's bid of $450, then you should have paid $460, not $500. You should also receive a refu

Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud or Stolen meteorites in Tucson ???

I agree with you whole-heatedly, Greg. If, there is any fraud going on in this situation I think it is imperative that it be brought to light. Not everyone likes to look at dirty laundry, but circumstances like this can affect a great number of people. Best, John At 08:24 PM 2/7/2007, Greg

Re: [meteorite-list] Astronaut Lisa Nowak

Good call Darryl. This seems to be a pretty typical case of an out-of-balance person becoming infatuated with a coworker. In addition to Darryls' question, I wonder how many astronauts make long distance drives wearing diapers to save time? Geee! John At 04:06 PM 2/6/2007, Darryl Pitt wr

[meteorite-list] Walter Branch Recovery Donations

Hello List, After reading the bad news about Walter and his daughter, I called Maria Haas who was in Tucson attending the Gem & Mineral Show to tell her the news. Being the good soul that she is, she came up with the idea to collect donations to assist Walter and his family during this trying
