[meteorite-list] Fires Threaten Graham Mountain Observatory (Arizona)

[John K. Gwilliam]

In addition to the fire on Mt. Graham, there are five or six other fires 
currently burning in Arizona.  The "Willow" fire near Payson, (Marv & Kitty 
Killgore's home town) has charred nearly 70,000 acres and is less than 10% 
contained. Here in Arizona, we're in for a tough fire season this year due 
to the ongoing drought.  To compound the problem, the forests are full of 
dead trees killed by infestations of bark beetles.

How about some of you wet climate folks send us down some rain!

Best,

John Gwilliam
