Abe,

I have some classification suggestions

I can also help with the process if you need help!

Email me off list if you need some help. I don't charge anything.

Jim

The page I created today is devoted to Meteorite Hunting And Other Adventures so, if anyone has any great stories, feel free to share them here: http://www.facebook.com/MHAOAdventures. The main reason for not setting up a Facebook page sooner was that I was afraid I might not be able to keep up with updating it and I can't stand stale websites - I'm a perfectionist and I can't stand myself sometimes. :)
