It's almost been like being there. Very exciting and informative. My "hunting" in the UK is restricted to wandering quiet lakesides and misty country paths alone, with eyes peeled and a magnet in my pocket; scouring a strewnfield, old or new, is just a romantic dream for me. So if *anyone* makes the effort to spend their money and their time looking for new specimens and keep me updated about the search by emails, taking valuable time away from the hunting, then I think they're more than entitled to "hold court" a little. All this talk about fair prices, spotlights and attention-craving is just a little bit petty I think. Anyway, turn on CNN. There's enough bad feeling in the world right now without folks who have the SAME interests falling out and squabbling. Sheesh, I don't CARE about all the politics and personalities, honestly, I'm just glad that the ******* thing didn't fall into the sea, you know? :-) So. Thank you Steve, and everyone else, for taking me along with you "virtually" through your email reports. I hope that one day I'll be able to do the same, but until I do then I'm happy and priviliged to be able to sit on your shoulder while you do your best to add to the world's meteorite horde. Never met him, sadly, but from what I've read and heard Bob Haag is a great guy, and a gentleman who loves meteorites as much as he does won't lose any sleep over this. He'll be glad it made it to Earth in the first place. And let's face it, the money he has lost down the back of his sofa will be enough to secure him a nice big piece whenever he likes... :-) Stu --part1_1de.5f6811c.2bbdce11_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3D2>In a message dated 03/04/= 03 18:03:28 GMT Daylight Time, ltcrose_at_bellsouth.net writes: <BR> <BR> <BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=3DCITE style=3D"BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-= LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Yes Steve.. congratulations= . <BR> <BR>Your Fairy Godmother finally delivered your most fondest wish and you ha= ve <BR>been the in the spotlight and the center of attention you have alw= ays <BR>craved. <BR> <BR>Congratulations on your finds, I hope you can find more...but...as a dis= tant <BR>cousin of the late Princess Di...
