[meteorite-list] Willamette

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Steve - 

You may have it, what the GR lawyers and leaders are thinking. In any case, the AMNH left Darryl hanging in the wind, AS WELL AS ANY FUTURE PURCHASERS.

PS - Jason, I hope Steve's explanation makes this clearer to you.

I also hope an honorable and acceptable way out appears. I hope the AMNH steps up to the plate.

E.P. Grondine
Man and Impact in the Americas
