I payed a visit to our local museum here in Pittsburgh PA (The Carnegie Museum of Natural History) and much to my dismay, found that there was no display of meteorites. I know they have a nice collection, but was told by a director there that there just wasn't that much interest in them!!!!! Can you imagine? I started up a thread on Carnegie Museum of Natural History's FB page, and am in the process of writing letters to various personnel of the museum. I think it would be a great idea if any of us who have a bit of spare time would bombard the FB thread on their wall communicating our displeasure at their lack of a display. Even though most of you are from other parts of the country or world, it would be in everyone's best interest to chime in. Check it out...Go to Facebook and search for The Carnegie Museum of Natural History page, find my post on their wall and let em' have it!!!! We naturally want to keep it clean and concise, but I think firm
 statements are warranted! Thanks!!! Go easy out there!!! Mike A.
