[meteorite-list] Boy Scout meteorite display

[debfred at att.net]

Hello List,
I just got the totals for my Meteorite Display at the Boy Scout day at Dinosaur Ridge in Denver. One Thousand and Eight Hundred (1,800) Cub and Boy Scouts with many of their family members came to work on their astronomy and geology merit badges. I didn't have a chance to talk to every one but I was very busy for over six hours. I had nice fresh Allende, Thuathe, regmaglypted Sikhote, Sikhote schrapnal, Gibeon slices, Toluca etched end cut, NWA 869, Wells Creek shattercones, Libyan Desert Glass, Phillipianite tektite, Vredefort impact melt breccia, Canyon Diablo individual and spheroids, and slices of a NWA L3 chondrite, Johnstown Diogenite, and NWA 047 Eucrite. The kids loved the opportunity to get a hands on experience with real meteorites. I am already planning a bigger and better display for next year.
Best Regards, Fred Olsen
