Inductees would have to be voted in by the public (55%) and?a private IMCA type group (45%?) -or something like that - that way dealers couldn't just vote each ohter in.

We should play with the idea and refine it......

I think a "Meteorite Hall of Fame" would be a great thing and your Nininger page could be the perfect starting point/template.

I would like to say however, that I think dealers should not be included unless they personally have made substantial contributions to science and study of meteorites (not just buying them and having them tested)for the simple reason that anyone with a big enough bank account can simply buy them and resell them.
People such as Nininger, Norton, Haag, etc would be a great group to be the first inductees.

I did a quick search and it seems www.meteoritehalloffame.com has been taken however (perhaps today after the topic came up?)
