He was about 40 miles north of where I was going anyway so I packed up a microscope, rare earth magnet, meteorites with fresh crust, and some old weathered ones too. Drove out and met him and his family and gave a good old fashioned meteorite demonstration.(Kinda felt like Harvey!) These folks live in pure farm country so I thought it a good idea to educate them a little. Unfortunately Dans' meteorite was a little more like a leaverite and I told him that, of course he had a good story as to how he came to possess the stone in question. He told me that when he was a kid in the ' 60's he saw a fresh crater in the farm field with dirt all thrown up and around, and when him and his brother poked a shovel in the bottom they found this rock, he never doubted for a minute that he had an authentic space rock. I'm 100% convinced no ill intentions were intended. When I told him that he should remove the item from ebay he didn't argue a bit. He was looking for some seed money for a family project and thought he would cash in on his old meteorite! He asked me to tell everyone that he is an honest man, and he had no idea that his auction was inappropriate. Regards, Larry "I stand by all the misstatements that I've made." ...George W.
