Gary,

I'm just glad I was able to help and that my curiosity prompted me to place those pictures on the web. The irons I knew, but the eucrite definitely had piqued my interest. And I'm glad they made it safely to the rightful owner.

Two months ago i discovered them missing from my office at the Institute for Astronomy, and reported the crime to the local police and FBI. Both were helpful, but they did not appear to be making any progress in the case, and I accepted my loss and turned away from it.

He has honorably sent them back home where they can continue to do the good work of outreach, inspiring young people to empower themselves through education here in Hawaii.
