Thanks for the kind words, Ted.

The pleasure was all ours. We thoroughly enjoyed the short time we had
together, and it was just fantastic to talk meteorites, the Universe and
not to forget Penguins :-) .

Hope we'll met again, and please give our warmest regards to your lovely
Lisa.

Cheers,

Norbert and Heike Kammel

Trevor bent down, reached over, and picked out a very nice flanged button. Norbert was 1 meter to the left, I was 1 meter to the right, so we both missed it by 1 meter and maybe 10 seconds :-( :-( in the gigapan image, it's the lower of the two whole tektites. Drat!!!!
