[meteorite-list] ALCON Astronomy Expo, Tucson, This Weekend

[al mitt]

Hi Geoff and all,

It had been a goal to attend this years ALCON but was unable to because of 
some problems here at home. I'd be interested in knowing how many vendors 
they had this year (if there is a listing I'd like one) and also a schedual 
of events. I have the online version but sometimes there are changes to the 
speakers.

Also a private or public report (and some photos??) If this isn't asking too 
much as I know you will be busy enough. I had hoped to talk with you and 
possibly hit one of the fine resturants in town. Oh well.
