You see Bernd?! There was no chance that we would forget your 60th Birthday!
I bet you thought you would get away with it! ;-)

So before you head off to Southern Germany with your family for your
birthday holiday, I'd also like to wish you a very Happy Birthday and thank
you for all your contributions both on and off list!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Tom's Franconia slice


Folks, you may (or may not) like to help Bernd and Tom out on this, this is
up to you, I won?t interfere. Anyway, my point: I will definitely be off the
computer for the next few days, so while I?m afraid it may not be on time
right now, and should better be said in a few days to come I can?t help but
announce Bernd will be 60 (!) next Thursday, May 12th.

Big applause then, please, for a knowledgable collector fellow and
steady old-time contributor to this list through all those years,
let?s give him a hand,

Alex
Berlin/Germany
