Hello Jeff,

   Very good and thought-provoking (i.e. good way to
put off those "pesky-things-needing-to-be-done-around-
the-house-chores") question! And you are right----it's
NOT that easy. Obviously, you'll get MANY different
answers from the fellow members, as well it should be.

    I finally was able to narrow my answers down to a
"favorite five" based on such criteria as external
beauty, internal beauty, great name, the story behind
it, the "impact" it made (no pun intended) and
finally, personal significance, with some sharing two
or more of these points. So here are my choices, in
descending order:

   5. VULCAN ----- What a great name. Fascinating.

   

   4. ADAMANA ----- Gotta' love THAT shape!

      
   3. HOLBROOK ----- A special thanks for giving so
                      many members the chance to find
                      their first meteorite.

   2. CORREO ----- My first stone meteorite find.
                      (And it was also the first find
                       for a certain VERY WELL known
                       other Robert).

   1.PORTALES VALLEY- OK, OK. I'll admit I'm a
                      bit prejudiced when it comes to
                      PV, but one collector told me
                      recently that he looks upon it
                      as THE quinsintential American
                      fall. A GREAT story, and SO
                      beautiful and unique! What a day
                      that was.

    Thanks again, Jeff.

    Sincerely,

    Robert Woolard
