Dear Dave:

I think it's probably more that Rob's pallasite was discovered in 
August of 2005, so we all already know about it. There are also 
numerous photos of Rob's great find on his website.

Many, many List members have hunted at Holbrook -- it's something of a 
ritual before and after the Tucson show. So, a big find there is 
something that a lot of us who have traipsed the soggy red dunes, 
picking up weathered crumbs and micro-individuals can relate to 
personally.

And the Peru thing . . . well that's just damn entertaining  : )
