These have been really great reading Mark. When one thinks of Nininger and all that remains as a result of his work, it is easy to forget that he was a lot like us. These letters are the emails we send today. Sales, trades, friendships, investment opportunities, new info. Metlist 1950's style. In fact, this Perry guy reminds me of Steve Arnold, Chicago a little bit with giving away free meteorites and willingness to trade anything anytime.
