Hi Michael,

I am only sporadically on mail these times (some health problems) and can
only reply now.

The Ensisehim museum has a new curator who is responsible for the display
some other meteorites (than the 53.831 kg "King Ensisehim"). These (2
irons) were basically gifts.

The first iron is obviously a Campo del Cielo ("old style"), kindly offered
almost 8-9 years ago by Oscar Turone (Argentina), when he visited the
Regency museum for the first time.

The second iron is a gift from a dealer from Morocco. The museum
responsible at the time does neither remember the donor's name, nor the
iron name.

I personally did not see it yet, nor was aware about that gift. When I
visit the museum again (soon), I'll inquire and could then perhaps tell you
more.

NB: If somebody intends to visit the museum any time, just feel free to
contact one of us here, so we can make your visit more personalized (and
comfortable).

Hi listees,

Regarding "Ensisheim 2009" show (10th anniversary), as both Jean-Marie
Blosser ("Grand-Ma?tre" of the Confraternity) and myself are right now
being confronted with some health problems, the show flyer is being delayed.
We will send you fresh news in about 2 weeks, after a local plenary meeting.

For those who inquired about show dates and some specific side-organized
events:

1) The show itself will be held on Sat. June 20 and Sun. June 21
(9:30-18:00) (It ends on Sunday just before the Ste Marie show unofficially
starts....)
2) The "dealer's day" is scheduled on Fri. 19th.
3) The Friday and Saturday parties are maintained on about the same
(slightly improved) basis as in the past (dinner outside, served by
specific restaurant(s)).

I will send you info on when and how to make party reservations in due
time. But yes, reservation (at least for Friday) is duly recommended.

I will also try to progressively send personalized replies to all those
inquiring about the show since a time.

Keep patience, this 10th edition anounces just great and....crowded!

Best to all,

Zelimir
