Laurence,
Just a quick note to let you and this wonderful meteorite community know that I received your package today. 
As busy as you are at ASU You went way out of your way to help me with these seven meteorite prospects.
I was expecting a few notes on paper telling me I had nothing.
Instead , what I got was a nicely detailed letter very well organized along with an actual print out of each PIXE 
screening. These reports spell out the mineralogy of each specimen including the Nickel content.
I was very happy to see that three of the seven did have enough nickel to warrant further review.
And the fact that you did all of this work in such a short period of time adds to the excitement. 
Laurence you went well above the call on this. I appreciate this more than you know.. 
You are truly one of the great scientists in this field.. Thank you again.

This seems like a good time to recognize a few other scientists  that have also gone out of their way in the past to personally help me. 
Jeff Grossman, Tony Irving, Ted Bunch, Alan Rubin , Randy Korotev, Marc Fries, Rhian Jones, Jim Karner, Dolores Hill, David Kring,
Carlton Moore, John Wasson, Tim McCoy, Pierre Rochette. G. Jeffrey Taylor, David Mittlefehldt Robert Matson and Elton Jones. And too many others to mention that have helped me indirectly. And far too many Non-scientists to mention as well. So, thank you to everybody. 
So as you can see to be great you don't have to be a collector, dealer or hunter. Scientists are alright as well. Thanks again to all of you. 
 Carl.
