[meteorite-list] Biography of Oscar E. Monnig

[Matthias Bärmann]

Splendid investigative contribution to your Tricottet website, Arnauld, 
compliment and thanks for sharing. Although not being specialized on 
historic falls I'm glad enough to keep a small Winona fragment with Monnig 
provenance in my collection.

Best regards,
Matthias

P.S. Hopfully this will make it to the list as a short thank to Jack 
Schrader after having received from him a wonderful little complete stone of 
his fine NWA 6721 lunar feldpathic breccia unfortunately never did so.
