Hi Greg and List,

This is a great cause and I hope you get it off the ground. I really
and truly wish I could help out financially, but I am just not able to
do it.

There has not been a museum dedicated wholly to meteorites in the US
since Nininger's day and this museum that Greg is planning would be a
great boon to the hobby of collecting meteorites and possibly to
meteoritics as well - if the museum inspires young minds to take up
science for a career.

Those of you who are reading this, who are in a financial position to
help out, please support Greg with this project. If this museum
succeeds, it will be of benefit to the entire meteorite community.

I will offer this small bit of help - all people who donate at least
$100 worth of specimens (or money) to the museum project will receive
a lifetime 30% discount on everything and anything in my store
inventory. To qualify, simply help Greg out and then contact me. I
will confirm your donor status and then create a special coupon code
just for you to use at checkout. This is a bigger discount than my
mailing-list members and friends receive.

Greg has generously donated his time and money to this project - which
is a significant thing because Greg is a family man with children, and
time/money are two things that are at a premium for those who are
raising a family. If this project fails to get off the ground, then
we cannot blame Greg - we can only blame ourselves.

Best regards,

MikeG
