Dear Listees and Fellow Meteorite Enthusiasts:

You'd never know it from his youthful appearance, but April 13th,
2004 marks the 60th birthday of our good friend Joel Schiff -- Editor
and Publisher of "Meteorite" magazine. For those of us in the
Northern Hemisphere his birthday is actually today -- New Zealand
being one day ahead of the Americas, Europe, etc.

Joel has done more for the world of meteorite collecting than almost
anyone, and -- as "Meteorite" has now entered its tenth year of
publication -- double congratulations are in order.

I have been writing for "Meteorite" since 1997 and it has been a
great privilege to contribute to the magazine, and to watch it grow
from a modest black and white publication to a world-class science
magazine. I've come to consider Joel a close friend, and I know many
of you feel the same way. Joel is not currently a subscriber to the
M-List, but I hope some of his many friends in the community will
join me in sending birthday congratulations to Joel at this address:

Here is a recent interview with Joel from "Meteorite Times" with photos:

Regards to all, and many happy returns to Joel!

So . . . Joel . . . how 'bout Tucson 2005? : )
