Dear List Members,

Thank you to all Meteorite List members who visited with Allan and myself
during the Tucson show, and especially those of you who participated in our
meteorite auctions at the Executive Inn and the Westward Look Resort. It was
a pleasure to see so many of our friends in attendance.

We would like to take this opportunity to announce an important upcoming
event: an auction of rare and historic specimens from the R.A. Langheinrich
Meteorite Collection. As many of you know, the Langheinrich Meteorite
Collection was founded in 1971 and is one of the largest private collections
in the world. This spring, we will be auctioning a number of quality
specimens from the collection, through Ebay.

A preview of the first twenty lots is now available online, and more lots
will be added in the near future:
