Hello Michael and all,
 
Thank you Michael for the vote of confidence and the recommendation, I 
certainly appreciate. However I certainly could not write such an article, I 
don't even own a microscope!!  Yes, I do have very high quality thin-sections, 
and a great many of them, but it is John Kashuba who takes all those 
pictures you see on the Thin-Ssection page on my site and who makes them look so 
brilliant and clear.
 
Maybe if we all ask him, we might convince him to write such an article for 
either Meteorite-Times online or for his Centerpiece column in 
MeteoriteMagazine.
What do you think?
