As a mineral collector and amature astronomer I guess it was inevitable =
that I would end up with meteorites. My first was a 10g. slice of =
Gibeon that I bought at the swap meet at the Texas Star party in 1993. =
Of course I still have it. I am a minor collector compared to many on =
this list but the collection continues to grow. I display it frequently =
at Chamberlin Observatory for the monthly open houses sponcered by the =
Denver Astronomical Society. At first I only bought during the Denver =
Gem and Mineral Show, where I have met a number of the dealers on this =
list. Later, I discovered the internet and now I don't have to waite =
for a fix. One year ago I discovered the Colorado Meteorite Society =
(COMETS). We meet monthly and I now have people that understand me. =
Dan Wray, Denver, Colorado.
