Hello everyone again,

I will be arriving in Tucson on February 3rd, Thursday and leaving February
7th, Monday.

Sorry to hear about the Darryl Pitt auction being a no go. Two of the
specimens in my collection that I enjoy came from that event. Looking
forward to meeting Dr. "Jack" Schmitt. It is hard not to be an American and
a NASA-astronaut fan. I do not know how those outside the US feel, but to
me, at my age. NASA was always there and always pushing that limit. Some of
you might remember an article I did on astronauts and micro-meteorites and
meteorites. I also own a little space memorabilia included the remains of
the Rubicon 1 space rocket. Thank you Allan for bring "Jack" to talk with
us.

Nice to heat the people's auction is in the same location. The newer place
is much better in my opinion. I have not talked to Michael yet, but I have
helped him the last 3-4 years so I imagine I will again this year. Remember
to bring your Norton books for autographs.....or better yet, pick up some
there. Dorothy, you let me forget getting one of your books last
year....:-(

I am planning on trying to get into the Vagabond. It is a nice place and
very central located. I have enjoyed many nights there and was saddened last
year to hear it was going away. It would be nice if the meteorite people
could be in the same section. Perhaps one of the Tucson people could
mention such.

Like last year, I will once again, host a Tucson report page, or section
should I say, to my website. In the past I have provided long reports as
soon as possible and I will do the same this year. This is a great
promotion of our hobby so I hope those that do attend, write up small
reports on their experiences.

Not sure what I will bring with at this time, but I am sure to have a few
goodies with me. Typically, I like shopping the shows and carrying little
on the plane there.

If you are a first timer, please come up and say hello to me. And some short
advise...stay away from the chicken.

Now lets see. Who owes me drinks.....
