[meteorite-list] Well, it's official Yelland Dry lake Bed

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Sonny,

Congratulations on the Official Naming of Yelland Dry Lake! You are  
one persistant hunter and it has clearly paid off. Too bad our  
schedules didn't mesh while I was in southern Nevada and California  
the last few weeks, always next time. I was a little lucky again on my  
last day of hunting, more on that later...

Again, Congrats on making Yelland Official!

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe
