Dorothy and all,
How do you spell meteorite?-----O-R-I-C-H-A-R-D-N-O-R-T-O-N. This name is
irrevocably tied to meteorites and their study. Richard has done more to
popularize and introduce the world to meteorites and meteoritics through his
wonderful books than any person I can think of. Richard states in his preface
to the second edition of Rocks From Space that he wrote it to fill an obvious
void. That void was most admirably filled! The book was enthusiastically
received by both amateurs and scientists and continues to be the best
introduction to meteorites available, and Dorothy, your art on the cover makes
it most visually appealing as well as the artwork for his follow-up books, The
Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites and the Field Guide to Meteors and
Meteorites.
The name and the works of Richard Norton will live on in all of us who love
meteorites. Dorothy, as you grieve the loss of Richard's physical presence in
your life may God's grace and His peace that passes all understanding be with
you in the days to come and until you meet again.
My best,
Thomas H. Webb
