[meteorite-list] Meteorite List activity

[AL Mitterling]

Hi Michael and all,

Believe it or not I was thinking about you the last couple of days and the
fact I hadn't heard from you for quite sometime. I was aware you had health
problems and glad you have been able to get through all of the troubles and
are now posting.

If AL Lang posted on the list, I sure didn't see his post. Perhaps I am not
getting all the posts. I often don't see my own posts when I address the
list. Well good to see you posting again!!
