Dear Meteorite Community,

I would like to personally "Thank" everyone for the wonderful public and
private compliments and congratulations for the successful launch of the NWA
5000 display in the Peabody Museum at Yale University.

Without the vision, support and encouragement from two very key participants
this public display would never have been realized. I would like to draw
attention to Dr. Tony Irving for the 'Vision, Encouragement and Friendship',
who made this all happen. His unwavering friendship, devotion to meteoritics
and continued help will always be cherished by me. He introduced me to Dr.
Stefan Nicolescu of Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History who has fast
become a dear friend as well. Stefan's open-minded and artistic demeanor
combined the Babylonian clay tablet, 'Velocity of the Moon', and lunar
meteorite NWA 5000 into a single display after a couple of our visits
throughout the Yale campus. This enabled the display to combine the 'Human
Element' with a material object from our Earth's Moon!

The collaboration between Tony and Stefan was crucial in ensuring that 'The
Display' has become a reality for all the world to share!

Once again, I would like to 'Thank' both Tony and Stefan!!

Best Regards,
Greg

Dear Meteorite Friends,

I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of a very special display in the
Peabody Museum at Yale University! My loan of the main mass of lunar
meteorite Northwest Africa 5000 (NWA 5000), combined with an ancient clay
tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection (MLC 1880 - 'Velocity of the
Moon'), is sure to amaze and thrill the public throughout the year. In
addition to these authentic specimens, there is a full size painted replica
of NWA 5000 to compliment the display and offer a glimpse of what the uncut
mass looked like before sharing samples with the world.

I would like to thank everyone involved who helped make this special
occasion possible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm from these
professionals I would not have been able to share such a marvel of nature!

The display is scheduled to run through November 30, 2016. Please share in
my excitement by viewing a few images I present here:
