[meteorite-list] [SPAM] Re: Larry's Holbrook Holy Grail Find and BobHaag's Venus Stone

[DNAndrews]

100 bucks now?  They used to be $25 if I remember correctly....however I 
have CRS now (Can't Remember S_it).   I remember I bought a slice of 
Esquel from Bob in the late 90's (and not that big of slice either) and 
he through in the cast.  Righteous dude he is.
