I would have to agree. I think it is fitting to discuss this since he is a driving force in many peoples interest in the world of meteorites.
The first person I knew of was Bob Haag (from TV shows) and then I discovered Nortons books which really jump started me into meteorites.
"Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites" was my first book on meteorites and really helped me learn about just what meteorites were all about.
