Dear Listees:

Steve Arnold and I are featured guests at the 20th anniversary
Northeast Astronomy Forum (NEAF) this coming weekend at Rockland
Community College in Suffern, New York. NEAF is one of the country's
top science forums, and an important educational outreach event.
Vendors demonstrate the latest in telescope technology and there are
numerous presentations and workshops.

Steve and I will be giving a presentation on meteorite hunting for the
International Dark Sky Association on Saturday, April 16 at 1 pm. On
Sunday, at 4 pm, we are the NEAF keynote speakers and will host an
audio visual presentation about the making of Season Two of "Meteorite
Men," and talk about our plans for the upcoming third season. We will
also be displaying the 109-lb Alpha pallasite found on the "Meteorite
Men" pilot.

We'll have an impressive display of meteorites and collectibles on
hand, including new finds and acquisitions. In addition, popular
author, astronomer, and meteorite specialist Dr. Mike Reynolds will be
in attendance, as will our excellent friend Geoff Cintron, formerly of
Island Meteorite. "Astronomy" magazine, "Sky & Telescope," and
"Astronomy Now" are among the many other noted vendors and
publications that will be represented.

Steve and I warmly invite any List members in the tri-state area to
come along and say hello. NEAF is a great event and you will not be
disappointed. The college is only about a 45-minute drive from NYC,
with plenty of free parking.


With best wishes,

Geoff N.
