[meteorite-list] Exciting News from Norway

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Geoff,

Norway... trudging through the muck, mud and a forest carpeted with a dense 
layer of "Moss". Congratulations to Mike, Morton and Robert for their 
success at recovering some material. They should alter their hunting plans 
after Norway and head for India!

Best regards,
Greg
