[meteorite-list] Ron Hartman

[Mal Bishop]

I wish to also offer my sincerest condolences to Ron's families -- his 
direct, personal family and his larger family comprised of us all who 
shared his love of this hobby.
I never had the privilege to personally meet Ron, but I did share some 
wonderful correspondence via email with him over the years regarding our 
mutual love!
He was gracious, extremely friendly, and ALWAYS very enthusiastic when 
it came to conveying any knowledge or information I would inquire of him 
regarding
any and all subjects from membrane suspension displays to the several 
Canyon Diablos I would eventually purchase from him!

It is really a sad day for us all and I feel even more so for us here in 
the United States!  Not only a sad tenth anniversary of 9/11 to relive, 
but now to also associate this day with
our community's loss of a dear friend, colleague, and family member who 
offered much to so many!

With deepest respect and sadness,
Mal
