[meteorite-list] Fw: Jim Kriegh

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

Hello All!

Even though it's a sad event that keeps us posting at this moment,
I am absolutely sure that Jim would love to hear and read *this*
message below ... and God only knows maybe he even does!

Jim is the founding father of Oro Valley, the co-discoverer of the
famous Gold Basin meteorites (together with his dear friends Twink
and John Blennert) but here are now the heartfelt words of Joel
Schiff, the founding father of our METEORITE magazine. Thank
you, Joel, so very good to hear from you!

Bernd, please post the following message for me on the meteorite-list:
 
I just heard the sad news of the passing of Jim Kriegh. I met him on a trip
to the Tucson show and remember his great warmth as a human being and
very generous nature. He was a meteorite hunter par excellence and the
entire meteorite community will miss him greatly. It was a privilege to have
known Jim and to have considered him a friend. My best wishes go to his
family, Joel Schiff
