I started my day as I almost always do, just me and an old worn out
copy of ROCKS FROM SPACE. I just open it up to any old page, and read
a few.... I don't read it so much to learn anymore (although I always
do pick up something new) I just like to go to the place it takes me.
Its a safe, fun, happy place to go. Its like spending time with an old
friend.

I decided to drive to Mt. Bachelor this morning, and found myself
standing hi above Central Oregon looking down on all the glory,
wondering what to do next. A bright sunny spring day, on top of the
world.

I felt a compelling urge to drive to the Sunriver Nature Center to
look at the Norton collection on display...so I did. I stood and
stared at all the incredible meteorites on display, (and drooled a
bit) I day dreamed about starting a meteorite museum of my own.....
maybe a collaboration effort. The Norton/Hall museum I dream......

Then I come home and read the Met List.....

I see all the posts.....

I cry...

I'm sorry, I don't know what to say....

                                                           My deepest
sympathies go to Dorothy
                                                           and the
Norton family members,
