Re:friends and allWhen I got home from work today I went straight to a fist
sized NWA. Yesterday I had cut a broken side off of the gorgeous, black
crusted, thumb printed meteorite. Today I sat on my small water garden pier
and hand polished the cut face with diamond pads, while sipping on a McEwan's
Scotch Ale. Then it hit me, I maybe the only person in the world that is
sitting next to a pond, polishing an unusual rock from space and sipping on a
McEwan's Scotch Ale! I decided to thank all the
people that brought this special hobby to me, those working on the science of
meteoritics, past and present, such as the Nininger family. O. Richard
Norton and his very talented wife Dorothy for the Rocks From Space book that
sent me on my first meteorite hunt. Gordon Nelson, finder of the Correo strewn
field, where I first found meteorites, and all of the special meteorite
dealers (Haag, Reed and Casper come to mind, for different reasons) that I
have met. To all of the meteorite collectors and friends I have met in this
weird, wonderful hobby, thank you, you are all "special". Now
back to my NWA and McEwan's Ale. Fred Hall / Meteorhall
