Hello Larry and List, Obviously, you are talking about the Ensisheim Show, and I pronince the name the way that looks most likely to me, something like En-zi-sheim. But mybe you should ask the local people since yes, the area has changed nationality repeatedly thru the centuries. Maybe Zelimir can help. But I can help you with Orgueil, or L'Aigle. And many names are easy to pronounce if you break them down, something like: Mill-bill-hill-lie.or Ta-fa-ssa-sset. Nothing to it!!! BTW: Anyone of you in the Denver area this weekend? we have a nice, relatively important Show at the Holiday Inn. Go here for details: _http://www.mzexpos.com/colorado_spring.htm_ (http://www.mzexpos.com/colorado_spring.htm) See you there, maybe. Anne M.

Sounds like a new Meteorite magazine column to me! Could be done alphabetically or by country (would need volunteers from the countries involved [regional for USA?] or people who speak the language). Anyone want to volunteer to do it/oversee it? Start it off? Anyone, anyone? By the way, off line I got this suggestion (sort of) from Anne Black and my question to her is: There is a Gem and Mineral show the occurs every year during the summer, in Eastern France, where a meteorite was seen to fall (over 500 years ago). How is it pronounced? I bring this up since someone today mentioned asking Anne how to pronounce French meteorites and, in Anne's room at the Tucson show, I heard two different pronunciations of this show/meteorite from two people who spoke with French accents! Yes Anne, you still have an accent! In this case, does it have to do with the fact that it is near a German-speaking country? Larry Co-Editor, Meteorite magazine **************Need a new ride?
