Thank you Steve and other List Members for the positive remarks.

I am pleased to see material from Northwest Africa being embraced by major
institutions and collections. The only piece in this beautiful collage that came
from my collection is NWA 5000. TCU and the Adler Planetarium also have great
representative samples of NWA 5000 in their collections. It is a win-win
situation when both private and public sectors can share in a find.

Here is an image of Dr. Tony Irving and NASA Apollo 16 Astronaut/Moonwalker
Charlie Duke holding the Ambassador slice of NWA 5000. This slice is being used
in part to promote future missions to the Moon. I can not think of a higher
honor. It is great when personalities of the highest esteem have no problem
whatsoever of where a meteorite landed so long as it was obtained legally. The
image is little grainy since it is a scan of an original:
