     Writing a cordial letter to the museum, asking for a meteorite display,
could sway the thoughts of Chief Executive Raylene Decatur.
     The address is:
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
2001 Colorado Blvd.
Denver, CO 80005
     Budget cuts have been made at the museum. This was taken from the Denver
Post, Sunday edition: The cuts have even reached "Space Odyssey" staff.
Curator Laura Danly was let go when she volunteered to leave rather than cut
another person in her department. She had been the museum's space-sciences curator
for five years. "It's wrenching. It's a tough time," Laura Danly said,
refusing to comment further.
     The Denver Post was being polite with the above statement, as Laura
Danly RESIGNED IN PROTEST, per an earlier Rocky Mountain News article.
     So, one letter won't do any good, a dozen letters requesting a meteorite
display may get them thinking, but a few hundred would catch the museum's
attention. E-mail? Better then nothing.
After all, it's not like they would have to go out and buy the meteorites.
You should see the Glorieta iron! A beauty.
Thanks, Fred Hall
