[meteorite-list] Richard Norton

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha,

Although I never met Richard, I felt I had known him through his books  
on meteorites that I devoured with great relish.  Those who are new to  
the hobby or who have not read Norton should consider reading these:

The world of meteoritics has lost a great human resource.  My  
condolences to Dorothy Norton and family.  Me kealoha pumehana, malama  
pono,
