We've all lost an amazing friend and wonderful writer that inspired many thousands of us (to hunt, write and spread the knowledge) with his book "Rocks from Space"
Last year Dorothy sent me a very nice email telling me how both her and Richard enjoyed my articles and videos. It meant more than any other compliment I've ever received from anyone. She said, "We love what you're doing and can't wait to see what's next." Richard, thanks for the guidance and inspiration. Dorothy, I'm profoundly sorry.

Richard Norton passed away last week, after a long illness. I had known fot quite some time that Richard was in poor health, still the news of his death came as a shock. Last time I called Dorothy, I heard piano playing in the background, Chopin and very good, I thought it was a CD playing or the radio, but Dorothy told me it was Richard, and we stopped a moment to listen, it was beautiful, I had no idea Richard was such a virtuoso. I had met Richard and Dorothy several years ago in Tucson, Thanks to Twink. I was very much a new comer then , and I found Richard to be bright, friendly, funny and so approchable. I still remember showing him a slice of Tafassasset, he looked at it with his loupe for quite a while, then told me that this meteorite left him speechless. Dorothy laughed, apparently Richard was rarely speechless. And now there is that great big hole in the middle of the Meteorite Community. Please read the obituary written by Dorothy and Joel Schiff: http://www.impactika.com/rnorton.doc I do know that Dorothy reads the List, so feel free to send her a message this way. Or, if you prefer, I'll be glad to relay your private message to her. Thank you. Anne M. Black http://www.impactika.com/ [email protected] Vice-President, I.M.C.A.
