It was my introduction to a supposed, but thought real, meteorite in my town, that sparked my imagination and interest as a child, that has stayed with me all my life. I have all my kids, and Grand-kids and now their friends, into collecting, and what that means. If I don't have an answer, I refer to the list, as a reference point, as I too, still have alot to learn. The meteors, comets, asteroids have always been the source of everything that is magical, mystical to a child. Walt Disney Productions, helped propigate that mystique, by associating them with "wishes come true", "swinging on a star", the twinkling star at the end of a wand, ect., to children for over 50 some years. Not a scientific observation, but one that deserves to be recognised. : ) The rest is up to us. The feeling you get looking at their lit up faces and rapt attention is a reward in itself, and "Paying it forward" works. Great Letter Mark!

I personally enjoy spreading the meteorite message to them because they are so keenly receptive to the rocks. The first time I did this with meteorites was with two little girls across the street from my uncles' home in Pasadena, CA. These daredevils loved to race up and down the street in this little pink electric car waving to everybody as they went. One day I went over with a couple of Nantans and gave them the "shooting stars" and told them to go show them to thier classmates on "Share Day"; then I gave thier parents a lesson on Nantan and its' history. I believe someone came up with the term "Paying it forward" for this type of activity. I've found that you never know when or how it will come back to you, but it usually will; sometimes several fold. It can only be good for all of us in the end. Give it a try sometime and see.
