INVITATION FOR NEW YORK/NEW JERSEY LIST MEMBERS

Greetings,

I have been requested by our local Mineralogical Society to give a talk and
slide show about some of my meteorite hunting expeditions, and I'd like to
extend the invitation to any list members in my area who might like to come
along and say hello.

If anyone is intersted in attending, please email me directly, or call me
at (201) 867-7400. Or just show up! It would be a pleasure to meet some
more of my fellow enthusiasts in person.

Regards,

Geoff Notkin
