[meteorite-list] "Thank You Scientists!"

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi - 

Agree completely, Greg. The classification labs and all concerned deserve our thanks. Without NWA I wouldn't have my little chip of the Moon, with which I will be delighting some 2,000 young people next week.

I hope you and your brother are holding on to your planetary cutting dust - 

good hunting and best wishes - 

Ed
