Maria Haas wrote: What do you think about getting together to erect a monument in Jim's park? Dear Maria: Firstly, very sorry to hear you have experienced your own loss. My condolences to you and your family. Secondly, the new IMCA Treasurer comes up with another brilliant idea. Jim was greatly respected in Oro Valley (in addition to his meteorite community friends, I mean) and there may be some official support available for a project like this. Tucson/Oro Valley has a thriving independent arts scene, and I am certain that a suitable artist, sculptor, or metal worker could be found to create something unique and affordable. In fact, I may know just the person. Also, the Tucson Pima Arts Council sends out regular newsletters to their rather enthusiastic members' list and a Call to Artists announcement is a regular feature. I know the Director of TPAC, so it would very likely be an easy thing to get artists to submit proposals to you, or whoever might direct this project. You know those artists, always hungry for work : ) Further, I am quite sure that a number of us would join together to donate some type of iron meteorite which could be incorporated into a sculpture, or similar, if that's the route you decide to take. Outside the Flandrau Planetarium here in Tucson, there is a very fine Canyon Diablo welded to a steel sculpture. It's most impressive. If there is support in the community for this, I think it is do-able. Of course, it would have to be cleared with the city of Oro Valley first, but I vote we pursue the idea.

I never knew Jim Kriegh (my loss, from what I hear of him) so I have no dog in this fight, but a thought strikes me-- with all of the meteorite coins lately with a famous collector/scientist on one side and an imbedded bit of meteorite on the other, why not one for him, with a bit of Gold Basin? __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hello All! I like this idea quite a bit. I've never bought any of these coins (even though I do collect certain coins: Australian Kookaburra silver coins, for example) but I would surely buy a coin commemorating Jim! One step further: If we could find a mint willing to (re-)invest the money they get from selling this coin or part of the money they get, in a plaque (maybe this mint could also produce that plaque) for Jim, we would have both: a coin + a plaque. The money that comes from selling these coins could also be used to reimburse the artist that Geoff mentioned for the sculpture that he or she's going to create to commemorate Jim.

This is a cool idea. What a way to be remembered. I hope this flies. I also like the idea of doing something in the park.

Hi All, Count me in! I'll go along with whatever is popular. I'll donate $, iron meteorite, time, or whatever. After all, without Jim there would be no Mr-meteorite!! From what I can tell, it's possible that Mike Farmer, Sonny Clary and many others would also be doing something else. Ruben Garcia Phoenix, Arizona http://www.mr-meteorite.com Tonight's top picks.
