Hi All, Looks like we have some old collectors out there errr.........I mean people that have collected for quite some time. My first collection piece was from Meteor(ite) Crater in the 1960's. Probably 1965 or 1966. Went to the crater as a kid. They sold Canyon Diablo Meteorite oxide (shale) on a card. I still have the cards which are purple, reddish in color and say "From Outer Space" showing a meteor in flight with the oxide glued in the center of the fireball. It has information about the impact on the back. I can't say that I really got serious about collecting until the 1980's though. I did make an effort to obtain a iron meteorite from Meteor(ite) Crater in 1979 but they didn't like the idea of selling iron meteorites to just anyone, so I settled for a larger chunk of iron oxide which I still have in my collection. After that I got serious. Thank-you Robert Haag! Also Thank-you Blaine Reed!!!!!
John Sinclair wrote about the attractions around Tucson. I agree with him on all of his well suggested places. One such place he mentioned was Tombstone and the shoot out at the O.K. Corral. There was also another infamous shoot out at that location (1996?) which another list member no doubt has not soon forgot :-) --AL Mitterling ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
