I know this is too late for the contest but here it goes anyway........

I like NWA meteorites because they have made it possible for new young =
collectors like Catherine Fox to be able to own a piece of a star. Even =
though her posting was short and to the point, I could almost see the =
excitement and wonder in her eyes as she was saying it. And you are =
right, Catherine, the Sahara Desert is a very cool place!!! NWA =
meteorites are just what this hobby needed to bring in new collectors =
and furnish an abundance of material for science to study. But, sadly, =
this gold rush of meteorites will someday end just as all other gold =
rushes through history have ended sooner or later.

I also like NWA meteorites because the Sahara Desert has been very good =
to me ( Thanks to NWA 482 and others). It has allowed me to take =
meteorites to some of the local schools and actually allow people to =
"touch the moon or mars". One local school even had a part of their =
science course which was teaching the students how to identify =
meteorites. Unfortunately, their real examples of meteorites were =
actually hematite. They knew that they weren't really meteorites but =
had no choice and felt hematite was close enough. Well, they now have =
real meteorites to use, thanks to NWA meteorites.

NWA meteorites have also allowed me to be able to afford to give a =
meteorite to someone who I feel would really appreciate it. =
Sikhote-alin Meteorites are real popular even with non-collectors =
because they look like what people think a meteorite should look like. =
This makes me feel good. Much more satisfying than money.

And last but not least, it allows me to say to Catherine Fox---- Your =
enthusiasm for meteorites has moved me. Send me your address. I have =
a nice .024gram piece of the moon I want to send you as a gift.

Best Wishes..........
