use my words in your auction "

I think that was a little misleading Bob. I was using the photo before he
purchased the specimen, and again I have permission. I will stop using it,
because I would not, knowing promote anything to do with Bill.

I do not have a problem with people using the newspaper articles….in fact, I
hope you do. If more people used them it would make sure they did not get
lost. Time is funny like that.

I have spent thousands of hours and dollars searching microfilm and my
website…around 700-800 pages, is not exactly free for me to run. I do think
it is fair to give me credit.

I have recovered multiple newspapers for pretty every meteorite fall, it is
somewhat amazing…I can fill a DVD with pdf‘s. The articles also tell the
history of the meteorite people and the science. I don’t post many of the
papers anymore…because I have posted about almost every fall already. The
website only archives about 1/5 of less of what my database has. I will
find someway to preserve these for the future as it would be a shame for
them to get lost….again. And continue looking for others.

Besides courtesy, there is other reasons to e-mail me. Such, in this case,
the newspaper it is one of the first I put up on the site, and several of
you likely noticed an error in it. My transcript on file now has the
spelling error correct. Also, the transcript now in my archives has a little
additional archive information. Such as "Paper: The Fort Wayne Sentinel"
instead of "Paper: Fort Wayne Sentinel" and “Page: 3 (of 8), instead of just
“Page 3”.

Clear Skies,
