[meteorite-list] Meteorite talk in tucson

[Gerald Flaherty]

John Blennet sent me my first chondrite, a Gold Basin individual, completely 
unsolicited[out of the goodness of his heart]for the benifit of science and 
a struggling rank amateur, trying to get a handle on "stones", before I 
found this List and Authenticated Sales and Auctions backed by I.M.C.A.
