Aloha,

Although I never met Richard, I felt I had known him through his books
on meteorites that I devoured with great relish. Those who are new to
the hobby or who have not read Norton should consider reading these:

The world of meteoritics has lost a great human resource. My
condolences to Dorothy Norton and family. Me kealoha pumehana, malama
