Hi Bob and List,

Oh yeah, David New, a genuine gentleman and trustworthy dealer in
the days before the Internet ... and he is still around with beautiful,
high quality thin sections and occasional offers to some among us.
And I still proudly own his "Meteorites of Interest" lists starting with
1987 Fall, 6 pages until Winter 1994, 5 pages - and with my eyes wide
open, I stare at some of his offers like:

- Pena Blanca thin section $25.00 (Summer 1993, p. 18),
- Buchwald Vagn, Handbook of Iron Meteorites Volumes 1-3,
  $175.00 + postage (July 1992)
- etc. etc.


Best wishes,

Bernd
