#Meteorite Talk
Hello Doug,
I thought I would respond here rather than mail so others could listen in and
benifit if they so desire.
The Sky and Telescope Index you asked about is called Sky and Telescope
Cumlative Index 1-77 from 11/41 to 6/89. It is broken down into several groups
as: departments, authors, topics etc. and is very good for looking up old
useful articles. You or others can contact Sky and Telescope on the Astroforum
at 70007,2762. They are always glad to help out.
If you (or anyone else) have any articles on meteorites I would be glad to
recieve them for my archives. You mention Scientific America had some articles.
I appreciate your help in order to gain other meteorite contacts from others
out there. The more contacts the better and I thank-you.
Getting back on the subject of meteorites, I just did a show in South Bend
Indiana for the library, an educational thing they do each year called Science
Alive. Its idea is to show children of all ages that science can indeed be fun.
I displayed my full collection at that show and permitted the kids to hold a
piece of outerspace! I recieved some "air time" from the local TV stations and
most importantly was able to show the collection to some 4000 to 5000 children
and adults wandering about the various exhibits. To top things off I recieved a
nice letter stating a survey showed my exhibit to be one of the most popular.
To me its a very nice reward to know many children enjoyed my exhibit.
