[meteorite-list] Future of "Meteorite" Magazine

[Notkin]

Dear Friends and Listees:

A number of you have very kindly written to me asking if I would 
consider taking over "Meteorite" magazine. I am certain that I could 
not do nearly as good a job as Joel, but I thank you for your 
confidence in my abilities.

Christine Schiff and I discussed this matter at some length, and I am 
taking the liberty of making the following statement on this issue, as 
there have been so many inquiries about the future of the magazine: It 
is the Schiff family's wish that "Meteorite" magazine be remembered and 
enjoyed as it was, and that no other party attempt to take it over. I 
fully support this decision.

I do hope that -- at some point -- another great magazine about 
meteorites will come into being to follow in the footsteps of our 
favorite publication. I would be delighted to be involved with such a 
magazine, in some capacity, if the new publisher wishes it.

If anyone is *seriously* interested, I will be open to discussing a new 
publishing project in the future, but right now I'm more concerned 
about assisting the Schiff family with the remaining subscriptions and 
so on.


Best to all,

Geoff N.
