To all,

On the list in 1998, some of the subjects being addressed at that time:

Monahans Trade, a list member was trying to do a trade for some Monahans and another
list member thought it was a bit steep. The owner of the piece was wanting $750.00 in
trade for a 1.1 specimen.

The dealer offering the Monahans states it was a private email and no set dollar
amount had been made but only $750.00 in value for the Monahans had been made which
might have been acquired for a much lower price in times past.

Ed Albin offer to ship a bound copy of his Georgia tektites and the North American
tektite strewn field. You only needed to provide postage or a small slice that was
capable of a microprobe.

A meteorite dealer offered up the only three privately owned lunars. CALCALONG CREEK
.030 grams DAG262 .326 grams DAG400 .030 grams, a specimen of all 3 lunar meteorites
in private hands
for a mere $20,000.00

A list member reported a false UK Meteorite Fall and offered details published by a
newspaper for the list.

Two slices of Etter Texas was being offered by a list member.

Robert Verish posted a message on micro meteorites and gathering them. Another list
member had been trying to do the same but found the information Robert had provided
very handy.

A tv program on fire in the sky was broadcast and it was suggested that the cow was
falsely blamed for the Chicago Fire. It has been alleged that a possible fall of a
meteor might have caused the fire instead.
Later list messages indicated that most meteorites that fall are cold to the touch
from space.

All my best!
