Let's be fair,
One scientist did go to West and more than once: Dr. Art Ehlmann
from TCU.

Marc,
It is just that every newspaper article and every interview usually
touches
on the fact that collectors get all the material and science is left
in the
dark.
I am proving the point that commercial and private collectors actually
provide the bulk of the material to science. We have likely
recovered over 20
stones from this fall, thankfully before any precipitation, so
almost all
stones (except the bird crap pieces and the dog-slobber stone) are
pristine.
I rapidly donated a piece I found to TCU, am working on getting some
more
into another major museum collecdti

Howdy all
I¹ve received a few ...em... ³spirited²
responses to my last email that
tell me that it didn¹t exactly read the way I
intended. I wasn¹t trying to
be a hero because I bought a plane ticket, I was trying to
say that
traveling on ³your own dime² isn¹t what scientists are
used to doing.
Someone had made the comment that there were no scientists
to be seen at
West, and I agree that is ridiculous. Scientists
travel to Antarctica every
year to collect meteorites, but no one could be bothered to
fly to Austin!?
How many people who spend their lives studying meteorites
just passed up a
chance to see an actual, fresh strewn field?? (not to
mention the kolaches)
Funny thing is, I was actually agreeing with some of the
nasty-grams I¹ve
received.
Sounds like I touched a nerve. Can I
suggest that y¹all spare me the
wrath, and direct it instead at the scientists who weren¹t
actually there?
Cheers,
MDF
