Happy Canada Day List!
Last week I enjoyed a wonderful time in Washington and was able to
see many sites including the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery,
The Vietnam War memorial and many more. On this trip we also saw
the Luray Caverns and Gettysburg.
Of course, we also enjoyed some of the Smithsonian Museums. This is
a tremendous institution and I was so pleased to see that the
displays are free to the public so all could enjoy these national
treasures. I am a firm believer that State and National Museums
should be free so anyone can study and enjoy science and art
treasures without having to pay for it. This is the same premise
behind the public library system. Last time I took my family to the
Royal Ontario Museum we spent well over $100 entrance fees!
I went to the Smithsonian web site and could not find any pictures
from there meteorite collection so I thought I would share a few of mine.
here you will see some incredible meteorites including:
-A gorgeous flow marked Lafayette
-ALH84001! Martian meteorite once thought to have fossilized life forms.
-Huge Paragould individual with a nice polished face.
Also shown is my friend Ernie touching a piece of Mars. In the
acrylic box is a slice of Nakla. Ernie is a life long friend who
was the principal of my grade school 40 years ago when I was in
kindergarten. We now love to travel together to study history and
politics from different places. I am looking forward to our trek
along the Pilgrim's Trail this fall in Southern England.
Please enjoy these photos and if you want larger images just email me.
Cheers,
Mike Tettenborn
