Sorry, I mixed up the addresses. This was from the IMCA-mailing-list and the reply was thought to be sent to the IMCA-mailing list, not to the meteorite-mailing-list.

Some time ago (around the passing of Richard Norton)the idea for a meteorite hall of fame was brought up on the met list. I think this would be a good thing for the IMCA to do. As a collectors group and not a "dealer" an idea of this nature would be more respected and seen as more legitimate. I have been spending some time thinking about this and I just picked up a great domain name that would cover this very well. I would be willing to offer it to the IMCA (for free) to use for the HOF site and would even work on setting it up. I am going to be offering out a few ideas over the coming days to get some life to the IMCA list, hopefully some good results/discussions can come from them. What is everyones opinion of the hall of fame idea? I have some ideas and a basic blueprint of what I see the Hall of fame as being - I think it should be focused on contributions to the field of meteoritics. members of the Hall of fame would be elected/nominated by the IMCA (this might also bring in new members to be able to vote and nominate for HOF status) Anyone who has made a significant impact could be considered. I dont think dealers as a whole should be included unless they have made significant contributions (not just buying and selling meteorites) My first nominations would be for: Bob Haag (its Bob Haag, enough said) Harvey Nininger (renewed scientific interest in meteorites) Richard Norton (his books are what helped many of us better understand and learn about meteorites) Richard Kowalski (found the first meteorite before it became a meteorite!) Jean Baptiste Biot (first strewnfield map and so much more) Greg C. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
