> Geoff, is the raffle going to be drawn live in Denver?

Mike, that is a VERY interesting idea.

We could encourage you wonderful meteorite people to buy raffle tickets
over the next few days, so we can send the money to the Red Cross now,
and then have the actual drawing live at the Denver show -- maybe at
the COMETS party on Saturday night? That would be a pretty exciting
event. I'm sure we could sell extra tickets during the show too.

What's the consensus on that folks?

I'm for it. Good thinking Mike.

I agree, that would be great.
And you could ask all the donors to mail the pieces directly to me, I'll
store them until the Show, and we could display them on the evening on the
Auction. Maybe we can even think of a place in the Holiday Inn (Blaine's??)

And one more thing.
John Gwilliam, who is taking a vacation from the List, asked me to forward
this:
 
"I will donate the remaining (main) mass of my Devil Peak
meteorite for the relief effort. The original weight was 34.7 grams but it
is now down to 9.4 grams and this is the last of it. Just let me know
where to send pictures to what specifications."

Thanks again.
