Hi Dean and All,
Why not try amazon.com? You might list a few meteorites under Industrial
Scientific and see what happens.It might take a while to build a meteorite base
but if you want to diversify, why not? I've sold a few things there (not
meteorites) and it takes a bit of getting used
Hello List,
I was greeted this morning with a front page story in the Baltimore Sun.
While it could have been worse, it made me realize I need to do something
to help writers focus on the facts and the real story and not to slide over
and just use the more sensational answers or comments
Hey Steve,
You might want to put this first on your fact sheet: I am not from Chicago.

Hey All,
I wanted to add something here. As noted in the Baltimore Sun story
today, Mike Hankey was quoted that a lot of people were contacting him by
phone
about the photo he captured of the fireball.
I spent a couple hours with Mike at his house and at his scope, and he is

Since I work at a newspaper as a photographer and understand your

really appreciate an FAQ-style, one sheet resource. Here are my
suggestions on what to include:

I wanted to read what the Baltimore Sun had to say this morning. I found this:

Your fact sheet is an excellent idea. It brings to mind a couple of

Hi Mike and List,
I agree on a couple of points here and disagree on a couple.
First, I don't think the Meteorite Men hype is bad for meteorites -
it raises awareness that meteorites exist. It never ceases to amaze
me how many seemingly-educated people have no clue what a meteorite
is. I mean,
Okay, now let me see if I've got this straight... You're sitting there

as possible is to get the public involved...
I can't agree more! How 'bout
