Bill, I would love to have you as treasurer! And yes, List members can buy
stock in this revolutionary new enterprise!
  The goal of this project is to make rare or hard to find meteorites
available to all! This is not a cheap ordeal, the breeding stock is rare and
not cheap! I have a small female Bensour and am looking for a large male.
Any one wanting to donate a large male will get the pic of the first litter.
Also, any one donating a rare breeding pair will get one out of every litter
as long as the pair breeds. Donations can be sent to "the Meteorite Fund".
I will let you all know when the stocks can be bought.

Thanks, Tom
The proudest member of the IMCA 6168, and meteorite breeder!
