Hi Eric, Great news. It is wonderful that a group of people from such a list can get together and support an individual they have never met like this. I am glad you were able to pass on all our hopes for his full recovery with a personal visit. I bought my first 'fresh meteorite' ( amgala with primary, secondary and tertiary fusion crusts ) from Walter...still one of my favourites that I show to others to illustrate its firey flight.
