[meteorite-list] Goodbye 2007 - Hello 2008

[Notkin]

Dear Listees, Friends, and Colleagues Around the World:

My father just called from Europe where it is already 2008. I always  
find the time difference amusing on New Year's Eve.

2007 was my tenth year as a member of this great forum. THANK YOU TO  
ART JONES for making it all happen.

Hats off also to Paul and Jim of "Meteorite Times," Michael Johnson for  
"Rocks from Space Picture of the Day," Larry and Nancy Lebofsky and the  
production staff of "Meteorite" magazine, the officers and board of the  
IMCA, and everyone else who gives freely and generously of themselves  
to make this the coolest and weirdest hobby ever. And an extra-special  
thank you to my friend Steve "Brenham" Arnold for inviting me along on  
all those great digs.


During 2007 we said hello to Bassikounou, Mali, Carancas, La Mancha . .  
. oh yeah, and this thing  : )

And we said goodbye to a very fine gentleman -- Jim Kriegh.

Be safe tonight, and may a big space rock fall in all your yards (but  
not on your roofs).



Happy New Year + Bonne Annee
