Hi Dave and List........
Here is the latest update on NWA 2092.
As of yesterday, 4/6, Dr Bunch, has informed me that NWA 2092, the first
LL6/7, has been approved by the nomenclature committee and Dr Grossman
as was originally stated. It is accepted as the first LL6/7.!!!!
I don't have the complete writeup yet but will forward it to the list when
I receive it.
Best Wishes to all......
