Aloha kakahiaka (good morning),

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all who have bid
(and won) on my ebay auctions in the past, as proceeds are donated to
the AstroDay Institute. This non-profit is dedicated to astronomy
science education and public outreach in Hawaii, and to date has
impacted more than 10,000 students and given away more than 5 kilos of
quality meteorites to schools and students.

As many in the field are aware, outreach monies and grants that fund
these activities are not so prevalent and dwindling from this economic
downturn - so these fundraising activities on ebay are a way to
sustain my endeavors. Thank you for your understanding, support, and
tolerance ;^)

Up for auction (ending Saturday 11:34 PDT) are a fresh Bassi "shoe";
oriented and cherry NWA 869; Juancheng, Huckitta and Korra Korrabes
endcuts; NWA pallasite; Zag fragment with slickenside, and other items
that may be of interest that can be seen here:
