[meteorite-list] Meteorite People

[Paul Harris]

Hi Mike and List,

To save the time from having to send the questions out individually 
here is the list that Jim and I have been using. We'll post the 
interviews (one per issue) in the order in which we receive them.

Please consider the following questions merely thought provokers. Answer 
as many as you are comfortable with and add any information that you 
think others  might be interested in. We will send you the URL for your 
review prior to publishing so that we print only what you are 
comfortable with others reading.

Please include the photos you wish to share.  If you have specific 
locations please note in the interview text.

Thank you again!

Paul
