Hi Bill,

I haven't assumed anything Bill, I told you I don't know anything about
this. If you have contacted her, do share what you've learned. Please
don't take it personally that is what bandwidth is for - to use, and if
you got the impression I was complaining you are wrong. You just can
attract all kinds of comments from the peanut gallery when it gets big,
bandwidth is like a rolling ball of adhesive.

l disagree about Montrose being all stirred up and I would avoid
thinking that the respectable citizens of Montrose could be so greedy
or gullible. I mean, it sounds more like Mr. Curry is pretty good
about garnering publicity "there is no such thing as bad publicity" and
he would win a prize for that.p

Regarding your questions about Sandra you have for me:

"Where has Sandra offered meteorites for sale?"

The claim was that the stones subject to the dispute were being sold by
a charitable organization. The charitable organization on file on the
Colorado site is the the one I provided the link to and lists meteorite
sales as the source of income. If you think it is a safe bet that all
the rocks Mr. Curry sells are duds, just remember that a claim of
tax-deductibility, charity, etc., require a registration of the
organization. On that registration, and the assumption is that Osirius
is that organization, the responsible person for the finances and
treasury is Ms. Sandra. So it doesn't matter whether she is the
salesman or not; what matters is that she has the fiduciary
responsibility of the organization. That's the way corporate finance
works. The first head to roll is the Controllers is there is any hanky
panky. So if anyone has been defrauded at all under this organization,
she is the one responsible for any/all fraud in the organization.

Hope that helps, Bill. This will be my last comment ever on this
topic, I promise.

Kindest wishes
Doug

Sounds like you've taken more than a passing interest in this Doug. It
looks
like Curry has everyone stirred up on a local level. I can see how
merchants
would get revved up by promises of a rainbow in this economy. The price
of gas
alone has crushed tourism permanently. Nothing like an endless
strewnfield to
get things going in Montrose.

Where has Sandra offered meteorites for sale? Have you already talked
to Sandra?
Why do you assume that I haven't contacted Sandra? I think it's a safe
bet that
all the Curry rocks are duds.

I know you're an expert on bandwith usage.

Kindest fuzzy wuzzy greetings,
Bill
