Hey Greg/Adam,
I'm sure this guy was a real jerk and you deserved to give him the 'boot'
out...
But, don't give up on all of us newbies....

We got 'hooked' a few years back... If it weren't for Keith and Dana
Jenkersen
taking time with us (((we should add Jeff Nodkin as well, and also a lot of
great hunters
around a campfire in Franconia))) we might not be where we are now. Still
learning,
(and still buying the occasional meteor-wrongs), but a whole lot more
educated and
understanding of the need/value that we hunters bring to the research and
preservation
of such a very rare commodity.

I am sure the afore mentioned hunters might have thought they were 'wasting'
their
valuable time teaching us 'the ropes', but had they not been so gracious, we
would
never be where we are now. We love to hunt, and we love to BUY, to increase
our modest collection, to preserve, and to continue our learning. In fact,
you might
check your EBay Paypal account.... We undoughtedly have bought specimens
from YOU....

You just never know, but you might be inspiring new
hunters/collectors/researchers.
For example, the day-by-day account of your latest meteorite 'run' sounded
awesome.
This is what its all about... Conservation, research, education, and along
the way,
good times and good friends. By the way, Keith & Dana have since become good
friends of ours.

So, don't give up on all of us JERKS who show up on your door step. Some if
us
got real potential..........
Jon & Joyce Dongell

STORY
