My mother has been = battling cancer for about the last year and took a turn for the worse = recently. My brother and I agreed that both of us should not leave the = country at the same time in case a situation such as this arose so that = one of us could be nearby to offer comfort in her time of need. Sadly, she passed away on the morning of the 12th of this month, the = same day my brother was due to return from an expedition in central = Africa. It is my belief that she was trying to hang on until he made it = back safely. Unfortunately when I tried to recall him from the field he = was four days by vehicle from the nearest airport so could not return in = time to say goodbye himself. I want to thank publicly team members Al = Lang and Dave Marsocci for acting as a surrogate family while on this = pioneering expedition and trying to provide emotional support to Greg. = It showed me that a team can be more than a group of people in pursuit = of a treasure. =20 As for me, time seemed to stop a month ago. I returned home a couple of = days ago and saw the many projects we were working on halted in = midstream. The feeling I can only describe as a sad haze is starting to = lift. We are having a hard time reactivating these projects but know = that they may provide a needed distraction while we come to grasp with = our emotions. Although time stopped for us the rest of the world has = moved on. I am saddened even more that our nation has moved into a = state of war during this time period. I am thankful for all the support the meteoritic community has given us = while we were away. I am also thankful that two separate pioneering = teams we were involved with on two separate expeditions to two different = unexplored areas have returned home safely.=20 It is our plan to move forward and find comfort in the avocation and = pursuit of meteorites, our favorite subject.

My brother was due back on the 12th from = Africa but I am trying to recall him sooner because this emergency = affects him as well. I hope anybody who has been trying to get a hold of us understands and = I apologize if this has caused any inconvenience. I ran out of time = trying to email everybody back and thought the list would be a good = place to get the word out. Thank you everybody for your patience.
