I just heard from Shirley Wetmore, retired curatorial assistant at
University of Arizona Flandreau Planetarium Mineral Museum that on August
28th Richard Willey died of natural causes in Dallas,Texas.

He of course is the author of the book
The Tucson Meteorites:
Their history from frontier Arizona to the Smithsonian

and he spent years searching for the source of the Tucson
Ring along with others.

I am so glad I have a copy of his book.
