One of the meteorite "silent giants" that certainly deserves recognition is
Dr.Carleton B. Moore with the Center for Meteorite Studies at Arizona State
University, Tempe, Arizona.

  He has been working there in the field of meteoritics and chemistry for
over forty years and has patiently helped hundreds of people learn more
about how to identify meteorites. An interesting side note for those of us
who attend the meteorite parties during the Tucson Show is the fact that
Dr. Moore was among the sixty guests who attended the "opening party"
celebrating the arrival and first cutting of the Bondoc mesosiderite in
Arizona. That party was held in 1962 at the American Meteorite Museum in
Sedona, Arizona and hosted by Harvey and Addie Nininger. The end piece of
Bondoc was carried back to the laboratory in Tempe (ASU) by Carleton Moore
personally.

Where were you in 62?
