     Super idea Mark. So the competition for the best sounding =
fictitious meteorite names is on! Just come up with ten names that you'd =
like to see in the Meteoritical Bulletin and I will award a "Meteorhall =
Grand Prize". More on the Prize list later, and I promise that they will =
have something to do with the Grand Man himself, H. H. Nininger (and the =
prizes have nothing to do with a Nininger toilet.) The prizes will be =
worthwhile.
Here are the rules:=20
1. Keep them clean, and no hitting below the belt!
2. Have fun!
3. Entries must be posted by the 19 of December 2003.
4. I will choose 3 finalists, then I will let my dog Holbrook pull a =
name out of a hat. Of course I will have to tie the name tags to dog =
treats, but what the heck, Holbrook is nearly as qualified to decide =
this contest as I am, as Holbrook is a middle age dog and I'm an old =
dog.
5. Prizes will be mailed either just before Christmas or just after the =
rush, whenever I get time to go and stand in line at the Post Office.
But never fear, they will be awarded before 2004.
High Regards, Fred Hall/Meteorhall
