Dear List Members,

Today, is my one year meteorite birthday. One
 year ago today, I bought my very first meteorite, a beautiful Sikhote
Alin (actually two of them), from Geoffrey Notkin. In that year, I have
 made wonderful new friends, found my first meteorite
 (Sutter's Mill SM42 1.6g) from an observed fall, got to buy stunning
specimens ranging from 2.3g fully crusted Tissint to a 13.6kg Canyon
Diablo. I also became a member of the IMCA and MetSoc. I have started my
journey on the hardest road possible - a complete type collection that
does not include micros. My recent purchase of a crusted 0.15g piece of
 Governador Valadares is one of a very few exceptions. As with all my
passions, I prefer to drive a cheap old car and afford the best
specimens I can. To the many friends around the world who have helped
me grow and understand this fascinating field - a heartfelt thank you
and I look forward to my second birthday. Have to wonder what treasures
 the universe will share with us all next year.

warm regards,

Mendy
