Dear LIstees:

The summer issue of Tucson's "Desert Leaf" magazine arrived in town
yesterday. The cover story is a feature article on meteorite hunting
titled: "Chasing What Falls from the Sky." The article is based on a
series of interviews I did with Tucson author Susan Dawson-Cook, and
features photos by Leigh Anne DelRay, Caroline Palmer, and myself.

"Desert Leaf" is very attractive, ultra-large format publication
(think "Life" magazine) measuring 11 x 15 inches, so the photos are
big and striking. The layout is excellent -- one of the better
meteorite features I've seen in some time.

For those of you who might like a copy for your meteorite library, I
have a number of extras, and would be happy to mail them to anyone who
is interested. If you'd like one, please PayPal me $3.00 domestic,
$5.00 Canada, or $9.00 for overseas international Air Mail to cover
our mailing costs. Sorry about the high mailing costs, but it's a big
magazine and has to go in an oversize padded envelope.

My PayPal address is: info at aerolite.org

PLEASE do me a favor and include you shipping address in the message
area with your payment. Addresses do not always automatically come
through with PayPal payments. Also, please try clicking that
"PERSONAL" tab when sending your payment, as recommended by one of our
colleagues last week, and then maybe we won't have to pay fees on
these. After all, I'm not selling a product or service, so that counts
are personal, right? : )

If you would like to just read an online version of the article, you
can find it here, but their PDF viewer interface is a little clunky:

You scientists will notice a couple of small errors in the piece, but
overall, I found it to be well written and enjoyable. Hope you agree.


Regards to all,

Geoff N.
