Anne, list, dear Dorothy Norton,
Richard Norton wrote popular books, understandable also for non-scientists,
which at the same time were scientifically absolutely state-of-the-art - a
very, very rare gift. He made the best of it.
With many thanks,
RIP Richard Norton , -
Matthias Baermann

Subject: [meteorite-list] Richard Norton
Hello List-Members,
Late last night I received a very sad email from Dorothy Norton.
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:

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.
