Hi Larry and Nancy
The DVD sounds a great idea...count me in.
Any chance of making the payment to subscribe to Meteorite magazine
easier...eg..online...paypal or other whilst you're at it?
I'm sure more copies would sell that way too.

Hello List,
I'd like to share the story of this meteorite's recovery.
A few weeks after the fall I had returned to the strewn field to hunt the
wooded park area more thoroughly, I was confident I would find something
despite the fact I had already been skunked there in the weeks previous.

'Biggest UK space impact found'
By Paul Rincon
Science reporter, BBC News
Evidence of the biggest meteorite ever to hit the British Isles has been found
by a team of scientists.
Researchers from the universities of Oxford and Aberdeen
I have also some thoughts...
Personally I think, that it's very unlikely, that the market could fall
off more or that prices could drop more.
One point is that demand-thing. I'm convinced that the utmost part of
people on the globe doesn't know, what a meteorite is at all and a even

Hi Doug and all,
Doug, I didn't know that I was giving Darren and Walter moral criticism.
You seem to be speaking or interpreting for me in a way that my message
wasn't meant. I don't blame Darren for wanting cheap specimens and he is
certainly entitled to wish for what he wants but I see it
I've always maintained that even though the meteorites themselves are
really cool, the stories and memories are what it's really all
about. Thanks Larry.

Hi, All,
The speed of sound depends on a huge variety of factors.
At normal density and at 70 °F, the speed of sound is
344 m/s, or 1230 km/h, or 770 mph, or 1130 ft/s. The
biggest variable affecting the speed of sound is temperature.
Since it's colder at high altitudes, sound moves slower
