Hi Adam,

I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.
Last May, my mother passed away after batteling cancer for=20
three years so I understand your feelings. Take all the=20
time you need to get your projects going again but
one thing that helped ease the pain is to resume with
your activities as before.

If I can help out in any way, please
do not hesitate to call upon me.

Best wishes,

-Walter =20

  Dear List Members,

  Thank you for your patience regarding my brother Greg and my own =
inability to respond to emails for the last month. 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.


  Kind Regards,

  Adam Hupe

    Dear List Members,

    I have been checking my emails only a couple of times a week because =
I have had to temporarily relocate to another city because of a family =
emergency. If any of you have been trying to get through to me or my =
brother Greg, I am sorry that we have not been able to respond. I only =
have a limited amount of time to address each email and I am falling =
behind. I may have communications set up more directly later in the =
week at the new location. 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.

    All the best,

    Adam
