Christian was giant in our midst. I am honored to have spent time
talking with him over the years. Although I never met him in person,
our meteorite paths crossed so many times that I would routinely
consult him about historic specimens and the excitement of the hunt.
Here is a link to an Accretion Desk article where Christian and I
shared some of that excitement.

When the Meteorite Times published a new issue, like clockwork I would
get an email from Christian comparing notes about the specimen I
highlighted. Here is his last email to me sent three days before his
death:

Hello Martin,
Truly, a super meteorite. I love it too.
Attached is a pic of my collection specimen 9.754 grams.
