Hi Tom the Cube,

Nah, it would be disrespectful to show up unannounced. There was a day I would have. But, these gentlemen are at least trying to spark some interest in students to become "ists". I sent an Email asking if they would like to meet me and if so would they like me to bring some larger specimens. I've got a few individual 1/2 kilo Campos and Nantans the kids can play with. And it would be the first showing of that big chondrite since I finished prepping and polishing it. It's mounted on clear lucite feet and stand 10" tall. Neat looking... and I kiss it when I go to bed.
