[meteorite-list] Meteorite List activity

[MICHAEL BLOOD]

Guess what? I was totally surprised to see a Meteorite List post yesterday 
from Al Lang. And then, today, another post from another list member - another one!

I had not gotten any posts for several years and assumed Art had let the list die.
I am pleased to see it is still here.
 
After a long recovery from my major back surgery in the spring of 2015, I was 
diagnosed with liver cancer. This eventually lead to a Liver Transplant. To prevent 
organ rejection, I now take drugs to suppress my immune system. This 
meant I had to quit teaching on campus and teach exclusively online. 
It also stopped me from going to Tucson Shows. Other than connecting with a 
few meteorite friends I’ve been pretty much “off grid” to the meteorite world for 
quite a while now.
 
I lost an important friend, as well, with the death of Jerry Armstrong who turned me onto Ancient Coins. I have become serious about collecting and selling ancient Meteorite Coins, though I don't even have my Meteorite websight up again yet. 
With the colaberation of Tim Heitz I published a book on ancient meteorite coins 
- which already needs a second edition. 
Anyway - it feels great to feel re-connected to a community I missed in my brush with 
death, even if I am now too old to be as active as I once was (78 now).
Hoping to see a lot more posts from the meteorite list in days to come. 
Best regards to all,Michael Blood
