Dear List Members,

What a great subject, been very busy on the new web-site but taking a =
break to enjoy this subject. I started out collecting like a few others =
who posted to this string. I used to purchase every type I could get my =
hands on without any real direction. My brother Greg and I are still =
trying to merge our collections into a single entity "The Hupe =
Collection" but this has been a several year project that is about 90% =
complete. =20

We have several focuses. Our primary goal is to collect meteorites that =
have scientific importance. When we deposit a type specimen to an =
authorized depository we cut a second type specimen for our collection. =
With the secondary type specimens we have high-quality thin-sections =
made that are compatible with a microprobe. This part of our collection =
serves as a library for pairing purposes. Over half of our =
thin-sections are out on loan for study at any given time.

Another focus is planetary material, we love it. The more that are =
found in the desert the better. We will never tire from new material =
being brought about. Something can be learned from each and every =
specimen discovered. Each new specimen we study is like a mission. The =
adventure comes from finding something that has not been discovered =
before. This goes for any type of meteorite not just planetary.

The third but not last is collecting by type. Our goal is to acquire =
every type of meteorite there is regardless of where it came from. We =
do not care where a meteorite landed just as long as it was legally =
obtained.

A major portion of our collection will be put on public display at the =
University of Washington in a couple of years when they finish =
remodeling Johnson Hall. They are having custom displays integrated =
into the remodel to accommodate the meteorites in a secure environment.

Wishing Everybody Happy Collecting,

Adam Hupe
The Hupe Collection,
IMCA 2185
