[meteorite-list] Steve's Bob Haag pieces

[j.divelbiss at att.net]

Bernd,

As an English teacher you should know that this language can be very confusing at times.

The last part of that infamous Sunday message stated "They will foe\rever stay in my collection."

While it looks like the word foe\rever was written to mean forever. The Midwest(USA) translation is more like:

foe\rever = at least 2 weeks (and not to the end of time).

Yours truly,

Dr. John..."certifiable" expert on such nonsense.
PS. BTW...the MACY piece is a nice specimen...no kidding this time.:)
