Re: [meteorite-list] Fw: New Blood: Not Just the Job of Dealers

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Stephen and list,   Stephen wrote "Although I do agree that it is the duty of the hobby/science to promote the study and enjoyment of meteorites to the general public, this is a job that should not be the sole province of dealers.   Collectors must be willing to promote too.  Since the study and collecting of meteorites is related to astronomy (another "graying" hobby), I have taken the lead within the astronomy club that I belong to promote and educate the public, especially the children, about astronomy and about meteorites."   I agree it is not just the job, nor is it just in the interest of dealers to expand the interest of meteorites.  Good luck with your outreach efforts.  Look for a small package in the mail from me.   Mark Bostick www.MeteoriteArticles.com
