A long while ago, before I had a clue who Dr. Ted Bunch was, I was given his
name and contacted him with a question about a rock whose interior I thought
(at the time) resembled LA001 and "would he be interested in seeing it?"
"Sure." Of course I sent it off, and being a newbe I had huge hopes, and of
course it was terrestrial...but the great part was that TB gave it
attention, and I am honored. (I since know with whom I was
corresponding...thanks Dr. Ted for looking; you have my utmost respect.)

I never did get a reply from a subsequent "joke" email I sent him asking if
he'd ever seen opal-like-florescing in a meteorite...a testament to why
serious meteoriticist scientist shouldn't be bothered with trivia [sorry
Ted:)]...

Please, no clones. One is plenty
