    Hi Greg,
 
  I agree with your assessment. Chicago Steve may be a little odd, but who of us isn't. I have gotten a couple of free meteorites from him and I'm thankful to Steve for that. Instead of his constant complaints about someone like Steve, who has a child like quality to him in his quest to bring joy to others with his give aways, Bill should try doing likewise. Perhaps he should buy a bunch of inexpensive NWAs and just give them away to school children and perhaps his neighbors. I've done this and believe me, seeing the excitment in these people when they hold their first meteorite in their hands is worth the time and money I spent.
  As to you, Bill, should you read this email, I'd suggest you loose the Scrooge like attitude toward life. Life is short. Best to make an impact while we're here.
 
  Greg Lindh
