[meteorite-list] Visit from Moni

[Michael L Blood]

Greetings all,
        I had the pleasure of having one of the
few ladies on the list contact me and visit while in
San Diego.... Moni.
        For some reason, I had thought she was Asian,
though, from her name, I should have expected her
to be French. Turns out she is German!
        Anyway, we had a very pleasant, though short
visit due to my wife having to go to an emergency
session with a Chiropractor. Turns out Moni is quite
the meteorite hunter and she showed me one of her
recent finds. Very impressive. She has been on multiple
searches with Bob Varish - great company. She tried to
blame her success on the company she keeps on searches,
but I have been in the field with some of the very best
in the world, including Steve Schoner in Holbrook & John
Blennert in Gold Basin & I never found a single specimen when
hunting with them (Of course, they found multiple specimens
when they were with me, but somehow I don't think there is
a causative correlation there). In fact, in 8 different strewn
fields and over dozens of days I have found only one single
(11g) specimen. So, I know better than to listen to her modest
commentary about it all being due to the company she keeps.
An eagle's eye she has.
        It is always great to meet someone on the list in person.
        Best wishes, Michael
