Hello fellow listees....

Made it back from the Denver show late sunday night. Me and my helper =
for the weekend, my brother, had a lot of fun. It was nice to have a =
break from the New York reports. =20

I was able to meet most of the dealers I have traded and purchased from =
the last couple years. Robert Hagg was even found lurcking around the =
3rd floor of the Holiday Inn. Hagg seems to be a really nice guy and was =
very positive spirited. =20

The Denver comets, Anne Black (Impactika), Fred, Mike Jensen (Jensen =
Meteorites), Mike Farmer, Steve Arnold (MeteoriteBroker), Jim Strope, =
Dean Bessey (The Meteorite Shop), Eduardo Jawerbaum (Meteorites.com, or =
at least for the moment, hush hush), Eric Olson, Ginger Mayfield and =
many others where there.=20

Missing was Michael Cottingham, Michael Blood and the Labenne's. Blood =
and the Labenne's where plane stuck for lack of better term. =20

Sales in Denver seemed to be low and it was a buyers marker. I brought =
back a lot of stuff. Okay I brought back a LOT of stuff. For those =
that follow my eBay auctions you will see a lot of this being listed the =
next couple months. I will also follow Cottingham's example and will be =
listing several items for the Auctions for America program on eBay. I =
also challege fellow dealers to do the same and ask that others support =
these auctions. Payments are billpoint only but it insures that all =
funds go directly to the cause. =20

I would like to thank Anne Black for her hard work to make the week was =
a success. Those that attended Denver know she put a lot of time in the =
different activities. =20

A salute goes out to our New York listees that were unable to attend the =
show and so have spent the last week helping out where needed. Geoff, =
your pichures and storys have touched us all. =20

I have a lot of photos I will probley soon post and have been working on =
my review of the Denver shows along with the first (annuel?) "Denver =
2001 Meteorite Awards". More to come.....I have to find out if I can =
post it here....

Thanks again to everybody and I look foward to seeing you all again in =
Denver. =20

About the time I post this it will almost exactly a week from the =
attacks. Our nation is just now getting ack to "normal". It is grest =
to see the many charities popping up to help the families hurt the most. =
 Every charity I have seem has promised all funds wil go to the cause. =
The firefighters here in Wichita, Kansas raised over haft a million in =
just one day. Flags are still impossible to find as suddenly our nation =
is patriotic. With this attack we have had stories of hope. Stories =
that made us cry. Stories that made us smile. Scene's we will never =
forget. Feelings of love and feelings of hate.

Baseball opened yesteday as again we try to heal ourselves. Many =
players wore flags on their uniforms and even in Canada they saluted the =
American flag. The American flag is an unusal symbol. Sometimes we =
hate it. Sometimes we have burned it outselves. But like in New York =
where a flag now hangs over ground zero. When things go bad some =
stubborn person not willing to give in, raises the flag. We've seen in =
on many battlefields int he past and now scattered around the country. =20

I reflect on the passengers that voted to overtake the terrorists in one =
plane and doing so might have saved the White House and other lives. In =
a time of great crisis they VOTED to fight and doing so they saved =
lives. That is why this is America. =20
