[meteorite-list] Meteorite magazine: Celebrating O. Richard Norton's life

[lebofsky at lpl.arizona.edu]

Dear Friends:

As most of you are aware, O. Richard Norton was a supporter of and
involved with "Meteorite" magazine from the very beginning, He wrote his
first article, “Meteorites—Chips off the Old Asteroid Block,” in the first
issue of "Meteorite!" in 1995. He also wrote “Centerpiece” for ten years.
We will all miss him.

Because of this, we would like to celebrate the life Richard Norton by
dedicating the November issue of "Meteorite" magazine to him. Many of you
have written to the Meteorite and IMCA lists expressing your feelings and,
in some cases, giving your personal experiences with Richard or with one
of the many books he has written.

We would like to include a series of anecdotes about your personal
experiences with Richard (or one of his many books) that can be published
in the November issue. As much as possible, we would like to do this as a
historical sequence with pictures, to show who he has influenced in the
meteorite community, in what way, and when. How far back does his
influence go? Ron Hartman and Richard were at UCLA together and Nancy took
an astronomy class and a photography class from him in 1974 and 1975 when
he was the Director of the Grace H. Flandrau Planetarium here in Tucson.

Please try to limit your text to one or two images and about a hundred words!
