[meteorite-list] PUBLIC RADIO AT GEM AND MINERAL SHOW

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

    The American Public Media program, Weekend
America, did a six-minute piece on the Tucson Show
Saturday afternoon. Two mentions of meteorites and
a talk with the German dealer Kaspar von Wittenau (the
story of his being arrested in Oman for hunting meteorites),
as well as a non-interview (more of a listen-in) with
Blaine Reed.
    They continually referred to meteorites in the course
of describing the Show, although they didn't have much,
if anything, to say about them. They're learning, though.
They know they're important. And expensive.
    Well, it's a start at public consciousness.
    You can listen to the program at:
