I have heard of them (at least Shepard), I would love to learn more
about both and if you want to share some stories or knowledge about
them, that would be great.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Ivan "Skip" Wilson
Michael and List,
Michael, you wrote in part, :
" Some of you know him, some of you have heard of him and
many of the newer members of this list should know about
him."
"Ivan Skip Wilson is one of the most successful meteorite
hunters in the world."
" He is a kind man and he shared his wealth of information with me. A
remarkable human being who is always sharing stories,
generous with his meteorite knowledge and gifted at finding
lots of meteorites."
I just want to add that I couldn't agree more! I first read of
Skip in a small newsletter I used to get called "METEOR NEWS".
Obviously, it dealt mostly with meteors, but occasionally had
meteorite and tektite related articles. The April 1990 issue
(Number 89) was almost entirely devoted to an article entitled " An
Interview With Skip Wilson ". I was absolutely enthralled at reading
his adventures. And two particular sentences were etched into my
memory:
"I have hunted mostly alone but have hunted some with local
people and am always interested in hunting with anyone who is
interested. If any of the readers ever get in this area, look me up
and I will go hunting."
I never forgot about his standing invitation, and a little over 8
years later, I was lucky enough to meet with him as a part of one of
the best hunting trips I've ever been on for sure! ;-) He was
every bit as kind and helpful as you wrote. Although it didn't work
out for us to actually HUNT together then, I consider myself very
lucky in having the chance to visit and spend some very enjoyable
time with Skip.
Sincerely,
Robert Woolard
