Dear Listees:

An announcement has already been made about the Apollo 11 40th
Anniversary event tomorrow, at the Lunar and Planetary Lab, but I
wanted to post a follow up.

I know from reading an internal email sent out to the meteorite
exhibitors that there will be quite the impressive display tomorrow. I
gather Robert Ward and Shauna Russell will be showing some of their
amazing finds, and that Greg Hupe and Mike Farmer will be brining
lunar and planetary material. Jack Schrader is listed as an exhibitor,
and we can probably guess what he will have on display : ) I'll be
brining some specimens from the Aerolite Meteorites reference
collection that have never been seen in public before, and I think
that's probably true for most or all of the exhibitors? As this is an
anniversary celebration, not a sales event, I imagine exhibitors will
be bringing some of their favorite meteorites. I know I will be.

And it's not just about meteorites : ) There will be lectures, film
events, question-and-answer sessions and you'll have the chance to
meet and speak with people who actually worked on the Apollo program.

I would encourage anyone in or around Tucson who is interested in the
space program and/or meteorites to come join us. I expect it will be a
day to remember. The event is free and open to the public.
