Hello Alex and list,

Nice idea Alex, to re-invite all the listees, basically "from overseas", at
the Ensisheim event.

 I was about to send my next and last invitation to all of you again to join
us for this 4th in a row meteoritic-friendly "party". There will be fun, for
sure, roasted wild boar and "Tokay Pinot Gris", as usual, but also a lot of
meteoritic news, with many fresh odd finds or falls brought from everywhere,
especially Russia, Argentina, Sahara or Oman, by now very competent hunters,
dealers and even scientists. They will come from Moscow, Germany, Poland,
France, Morocco or South America and, no doubt, from USA.

Our "lunatic" friend Norbert Classen, to cite one example, will not be the
least interesting person to meet. Indeed, he promised not to miss the
opportunity to debate on his beloved Moon and Mars meteorites that are
particularly featured this year and enhanced by 3 related lectures given by
famous sceintists and planetary specialists, Professors Gillet (Lyon),
Jambon (Paris) and Lefebvre (Liege, Belgium).

A few tables are still available for all of you who wish to offer your new
falls for sale (hey, we did not see around here Thuathe, Kilabo or the
elusive Parf Forest yet so far !).=20
While the low dollar is perhaps a (minor) drawback for your general fees in
Europe, indeed, your sales may find this year a favorable impact. SARS ?
Never heard about this guy around, so far....

But I retain Alex's message here, namely that you, anonymous guests from
"far away from home" don't stay behind the scene. Please identify yourself
as from "the list". There is no reason we don't take this famous opportunity
to meet, chat, eat and drink and share amazing space stories. Last year,
during the "Saturday night fever", the Russian team survived the best. How
about a "sweet revange" ?

All warmly welcome!=20
Should I be of any further assistance to anyone, just let me know.

Best to all and good wishes Alex,

Zelimir
