[meteorite-list] More Bob Haag

[Bob King]

Well, I must chime in here with my short tale about Bob. Like Stan I 
bought my first meteorite many years ago from Bob and this Tucson 
was also my first opportunity to meet him. He was of such good cheer 
and enthusiasm and it didn't matter if he was meeting someone brand 
new to meteorites or old enthusiasts. I purchased a modest slice of 
Lamont from Bob. I pointed to the  pretty piece and asked how much he 
wanted. His reply was "How 'bout 80 bucks" and it was sold. A friend 
bought a superb small slice of Esquel and inquired on how many grams 
it weighed. Bob said he "didn't do grams" and just offered it to him for a 
nice discount. When we got back to the car and weighed it the price 
came to under $10/gram. It was about the nicest small slice I'd ever 
seen. There was an ease and a spirit of generosity about Bob that was 
inspirational. Meeting him was one of the trip's highlights.
