Re: [meteorite-list] William Barriere - Youth of Canada be warned!
Interesting, in which way? Seems someone in the Chicago Field hasn't made his homework. Chicago has such an important collection only, because they bought as start all specimens, which the mightiest meteorite dealer in USA of his times brought to the Columbian exhibition in 1893. Henry Ward, was his name. In 1912 Chicago Field outbid the Smithonian and AMNH in New York, and purchased dealer Ward's collection from his widow for inflation-adjusted 1.8 million USD. And of course in the following decades they enlarged the collection also in buying from dealers too. At least they aren't as rotten as docteure Julia in the comic strip, wangling innocent children out of their finds - cause I read, the Chicago Field bought 2.7kg of Park Forest, paying to the finders 30k$. Didn't follow that story, but wasn't that T-Rex, the main exhibit, which the Field museum bought for 8 million or so, recovered by a dealers company too? And Dinos are a much more sensible complex than meteorites. Well and the famous instrument collection from the Adler Planetarium, certainly items of a cultural heritage according the modern conception, hence much more problematic than stones from space, Max Adler bought naturally from a dealer, Anton Mensing. It is and it always was the practise of all museums no matter which field of collection they plough to amass their collections by donations, direct or monetary ones, and by purchases from dealers. So I'm asking, this dealer bashing and the call for - in the end one might call it in extreme expropriation of owners or finders or dealers - a relatively problematic intervention in the personal basic rights at least in states under the rule of laws - is this meanwhile commonplace or the opinion of a very few, whatever their intention may be?

Yah but Rob, every reader expects that happy end: The final big surprise, that docteure Julia comes and rewards Thomas with the video game and Marie-Noelle with the trip to Egypt (and the dog with a bone) for their unselfish decision to have donated the stone to the museum. But? Nothing! Not very encouraging.. And mean Mr. Barriere is much more honest than docteure Julia. She is pushy, she plays on the heart strings and at the end she even presents the instrument of torture (why she and not Barriere has such a mineral saw..?), while Barriere says only: This is what you get, you have all the time to think about, to come to a decision. But at least now I know, why I saw so many stretch limousines in the streets of Tucson: Those were all meteorite collectors Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Rob Wesel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 22.

Hehe, Nick, Good that you haven't clicked through the whole story. Such a style of propaganda I saw the last time in Romania, where a Christian sect distributed comic booklets, of really rude contents. (Family the same, Mother Father Sun Daughter Dog). Hehe, anti-propaganda, I just finished the plot for the next adventure. Marie-Noelle and Thomas accompany docteure Julia on an expedition to desert. They are captured by terrorists but are affranchised by the intrepid Pelican brothers and their funny cook Amoroso. Altogether they continue the travel and meet two rachitic nomad children, who have found a meteorite each. Julia explains to the children, how important their recovery would be and that she immediately have start to cry, if they wouldn't hand over the stones to her. The children are dismayed, hand over the stones and for making Julia smiling again, they show them the way to a mysterious treasure cave. The Pelicans roll the rock, blocking the entrance, aside Inside mountains of meteorites are hoarded Three 200 years old Guardians with long beards raise their heads. Their names are Logan, Ward, Nininger. Thomas and Amoroso manage to slay the guardians, Julia organizes the transport of the stones, and promises to the nomad children, that their names will be eternalized on a label on a showcase in the Museum. And happily they return to Canada. Epilog. - Marie-Noelle and Thomas, who had quit school to accompany docteure Julia in the name of science, have to hire out as cleaning personnel in the private collection of heartless William Barriere. - Docteure Julia wins the Nobel prize, cause she had discovered some Martian fossils in the stones of the nomad children. - A messenger delivers a photo of the plate with the names of the children in the museum to their mother, who is now happy again. (as the children died a while ago, cause they couldn't afford medication). -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 21.
