Dear Listees:

As you know, last Saturday several List members participated in the
Lunar and Planetary Lab's Apollo 11 40th anniversary celebration. It
was a terrific event with lectures, films, displays of Apollo mission
memorabilia & genuine space hardware, and plenty of meteorites.

I wish we'd taken more pictures, but we were busy, busy, busy and it
ended up being a 15-hour day for us. Hundreds of people came through
the Kuiper Space Sciences building to view the various displays and
events.

I remember seeing Dolores Hill (one of the organizers), Rik Hill,
Marvin Kilgore, Robert Ward, Shauna Russell, Greg Hupe, Bob Holmes,
Mike and Mel Farmer, Mark Bowling, John Humphries, Jim Shorten,
Frederic Stephan, and I'm sure there are some other people I forgot
(sorry), so the meteorite world was very well represented. One of the
highlights was meeting Thomas Bopp of Comet Hale-Bopp fame.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos. Thanks to Leigh Anne and David
Crowell for working the cameras:

And one more thing: My brilliant illustrator friend Tim Arbon designed
a new Aerolite logo (he also did the "Meteorwritings" logo for the
Geology.com column) and we gave the website a bit of a facelift. I
hope you like it:
