A gentleman came and told me this: He is a teacher and took his family to Meteor Crater last summer. There were= =20 quite a few visitors, and someone asked the guide on duty: =A0" Are meteorit= es=20 radioactive?" =A0The guide answered without hesitation: " Yes, most of them=20 are." Then someone else asked "How about the meteorites in the gift shop?"=20 =A0Again he answered "Most of those are radioactive too." This surprised him so he wanted to verify and asked me, and I did my best to= =20 explain that No! They are not radioactive! =A0=A0I think I convinced him. Now, I was wondering if some List-members who live in that area (Steve=20 Schoner or Dave Andrews for instance) would be willing to go check this out.= =20 And maybe teach that guide a few meteoritical things. No wonder the public is so misinformed!!!!!=20 Anne Black IMCA #2356 www.IMPACTIKA.com e-mail: IMPACTIKA_at_aol.com --part1_f.21390452.297796a0_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3D2>Hello members, <BR> <BR>Since my e-mail is working again (thank you Ron and Ray for answering) l= et me try again to send the e-mail that got lost a couple days ago: <BR>__________________________________________________________________- <BR> <BR> <BR>Hello members, <BR> <BR>I spent this last weekend at a small local mineral show, selling a few m= eteorites, and answering a lot of questions. <BR> <BR>A gentleman came and told me this: <BR>He is a teacher and took his family to Meteor Crater last summer.
