Dear Sterling:

I did misinterpret your comments, and thank you for be so thoughtful as
to clarify. We did work hard on promoting the story, and I appreciate
your compliment. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My P.R. specialist called me yesterday, and said how well it all went,
and how lucky we were that there was no other *major* news story to
compete with ours. It was a statement very similar to your observation,
and something with which we certainly have to agree. Steve has noted
that each time there is a big meteorite story, it seems to suddenly get
overshadowed by an even bigger news story -- Park Forest being a
perfect example, as you reminded us the other day. So, I guess we got
by okay on this one, with no new war or major calamity : )

We're working on website for the big Brenham with a lot of new photos,
and I hope to be able to share that with the List very soon.

Meanwhile, the "King of the Pallasites" will be on display this weekend
-- Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 19 and 20 -- at the Tulsa Air and Space
Museum for anyone who might be in the neighborhood:

Steve will be there too, of course, and no doubt dazzling hordes of
school children with tales from the world of meteorites.


Thanks again and best to all,

Geoff N.
