Greetings Dr. Moore and all,
I've heard of C.U. Shepard after having visited the ASU Collection. Good
candidates for sure.

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
