Same thing here.
Packing and leaving in a few days, but I doubt that I will be traveling
light!
See you all there.

Yes. We all all excited to head back to Europe for fine food, fine
drink, and
fine meteorite friends. Some fine treasure will be icing on the cake:)

I will attend as usual and same as Greg, any requests for material
should be
made now. I plan on traveling light this year.

congregate at the Ensisheim and Sainte Marie aux Mines shows. I am
looking
forward to seeing many of my friends there, Ensisheim has always been
my
favorite show when it comes down to pure meteorites, no beads or junk,
just
meteorites and fun meteorite people! I am not sure what I am bringing
to offer
for sale yet, so if I have anything that you may be interested in,
please send
me an email and I will do my best to bring anything of interest.

Alsace (now
part of France) in 1492 is one of the earliest instances of a meteorite
fall on
record. Maximillian I, who was proclaimed Holy Roman emperor soon
afterward,
assembled his council to determine the significance of this event;
their verdict
was that the meteorite was a favorable omen for success in Maximilian?s
wars
with France and Turkey. Accordingly, Maximilian ordered the Ensisheim
stone to
be placed with an appropriate inscription in the local parish church.
The
meteorite was fixed to the wall with iron crampons to prevent it from
wandering
at night or departing in the same violent manner in which it had
arrived. It
resides in the town of Ensisheim today, although visitors in the
intervening
centuries chipped off all but 56 kg (123 pounds) of its original 127-kg
mass.
