[Maria Haas]

Hello List,

Some of Walter's auctions are ending soon. While I don't want him to have to 
sell any of his precious collection, you're missing out on an opportunity to 
acquire the best of the best! They are all excellent specimens and are 
definitely worth a look.

METEORITES:
Beautiful 42.6 gram slice of Rountop (b), a meteorite which was found in 
Fayette Co., Texas in 1939.  The famous meteorite collector O. E. Moning 
first acquired this stone.

Anyone else out there whose heart is wrenching that Walter has been forced 
to sell any part of his museum-quality collection?

Donations toward helping Walter keep some of his meteorites (and help pay 
medical bills!) are being accepted via Paypal to my account at 
RockGirlsRock at msn.com. Snail-mail donations to 410 Spring Street, Saline, MI 
48176 will work too. I'll get the funds to him ASAP. I have already received 
$110 today so feel free to join in!

Thank you,
Maria
