Dear Sterling:

I did misinterpret your comments, and thank you for be so thoughtful as 
to clarify. We did work hard on promoting the story, and I appreciate 
your compliment. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My P.R. specialist called me yesterday, and said how well it all went, 
and how lucky we were that there was no other *major* news story to 
compete with ours. It was a statement very similar to your observation, 
and something with which we certainly have to agree. Steve has noted 
that each time there is a big meteorite story, it seems to suddenly get 
overshadowed by an even bigger news story -- Park Forest being a 
perfect example, as you reminded us the other day. So, I guess we got 
by okay on this one, with no new war or major calamity  : )

We're working on website for the big Brenham with a lot of new photos, 
and I hope to be able to share that with the List very soon.

Meanwhile, the "King of the Pallasites" will be on display this weekend 
-- Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 19 and 20 -- at the Tulsa Air and Space 
Museum for anyone who might be in the neighborhood:

Steve will be there too, of course, and no doubt dazzling hordes of 
school children with tales from the world of meteorites.


Thanks again and best to all,
