Hello  List  Members :
 I  am  new  to  this  list  as  well  as  the  IMCA  List. Name  here  is
Fredric Stephan. I  live  in  the  BLACK HILLS  of  Beautiful  SW SOUTH
DAKOTA . I  have  been  lurking  for  a  long  time.
Watching  and  learning.
Odds  very  high  that  many  others  are  watching this  list ?
Time to  add  to  the  list  now  that  I  have  an  idea  of  the
behavior.

I  have  helped  out  in  West  Virginia ;  been  there;  Almost  as  nice
as  here.  haha.
I  agree  with  your  entire  message  JIM  S., especially  your
encouragement  for  TOM.
Hello  Tom .  
By  the  way,  3  days  last  week  , I  did  Not  collect meteorites ; so
am  I  , therefore  a  non-collector ?  No,  it  all  is  a  matter  of
time.   Where  do  we  draw  the  line ?    Time. Information. Thinking.
ETC.
Tom  is  still  a  collector ;  right  now  a  collector  of  information
as  well.  Right  TOM ?
Once  a  meteorite addict ,  always................. a ......... collector.
Happy  Trails,
Fritz
