[meteorite-list] 100th, not 99th Anniversary Holbrook Meteorite - Hunt Date/Schedule!

[Michael Blood]

Hi Ruben and all,
        Sounds like GREAT fun.
        I am not sure who did the math and thought this was 99th "Birthday"
- but it will be the 100th. That is a mathematical fact - think about
it....If you are born in 2000 you are ten years old in 2010 - NOT 9 years
old - if you fell on July 19, 1911, it will be 100 years later on July 19,
2011 - thus it is the 100th "Birthday" (not counting the day/year of the
fall, but starting with first "birthday" on July 19, 1912)
        Warm regards & hope to  see a ton of you there,
        Michael
