Greetings Listees! Just wanted to say that my experience this year in Tucson
was very enjoyable again. I was able to attend Mr. Bloods Auction on Friday
evening, the Big Birthday Bash Saturday evening and also Darryl Pitts
Auction Sunday morning! The first 2 events I was basically chatting with
people that I haven`t seen in a year, but Sunday morning I had my eyes on a
few things. Being that I mainly collect Carbonaceous Chondrites, I was
looking at the Cold Bokkeveld CM2 and also the Efremovka CV3, but was
subsequently out bid on both of these, but was successful on the 3g. piece
of Ningqiang CK-ANOM and also a great 79.41g. piece of Kainsaz CO3.2! Last
year people were trying to find some shade from the hot sun, but this year
there was a chill in the air and the sun was more than welcomed! The only
other meteorite that I purchased this year was a cool 9.55g. partslice of
NWA 723 a CV3.5 from Bruno and Carine of La Memoire de la Terre and also
much needed membrane boxes. The rest of the time was spent just browsing
around, socializing and enjoying the sun before returning to the cold of
Northern Indiana. Hope to see everyone again next year and also those who
could not make it this year. As Rob Elliott always says, Cheers! Dave
Schultz p.s. I also want to thank Mike Farmer for getting me started
(addicted) to collecting these cosmic wonders!
