Dear List Members, Today, is my one year meteorite birthday. One year ago today, I bought my very first meteorite, a beautiful Sikhote Alin (actually two of them), from Geoffrey Notkin. In that year, I have made wonderful new friends, found my first meteorite (Sutter's Mill SM42 1.6g) from an observed fall, got to buy stunning specimens ranging from 2.3g fully crusted Tissint to a 13.6kg Canyon Diablo. I also became a member of the IMCA and MetSoc. I have started my journey on the hardest road possible - a complete type collection that does not include micros. My recent purchase of a crusted 0.15g piece of Governador Valadares is one of a very few exceptions. As with all my passions, I prefer to drive a cheap old car and afford the best specimens I can. To the many friends around the world who have helped me grow and understand this fascinating field - a heartfelt thank you and I look forward to my second birthday. Have to wonder what treasures the universe will share with us all next year.
warm regards, Mendy ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
