> Hello List,
> Just a little insight as to what a truly special and dedicated person
> Steve is. Until tonite, I didn't know how truly ill he has been.Or that
> he had been in the hospital and is only just recovering from his nearly
> fatal ADEM.
> I had wanted to send in what I thought to be a meteteorite sample, for

> after having sent him my sample ect., I got another response, with
> verification of his findings. Here I am, a rookie, and because I had

> maybe years to get an answer.
> As sick as he was, unbeknownst to me, he took the time and energy, to

> Just thought I'd let the rest of you know, in case you didn't already.
