[meteorite-list] RE: Self-Proclaimed Pairing Issues

[Norm Lehrman]

Thomas,

Take heart.  "Almost a year"? Try never.  The last
piece I sent to UCLA they claim to never have received
even though people visiting the lab asked about it and
were told probable preliminary classifications.  Now
they want a second piece?

Can anyone help me get the "kick me" sticker off my
back?

I don't know where the problem might be.  US mail? 
UCLA mailroom? Met lab?   I suspect the mail room. 
"Packages going to this department might have valuable
rocks."  But that doesn't explain the verbal
communications suggesting the material was in process.
 Lesson:  if you can find a way, have your material
hand carried into the hands of a respected scientist
by someone who can vouch that it was delivered.

I am very disheartened by the whole experience.

Maybe you get what you pay for.  It appears I did.

Cheers,
Norm
