[meteorite-list] A 24 pound lunar meteorite in Colorado

[Dennis Beatty]

Hello Walter,

Perhaps you're being too tough on the guy.  It's possible that upon entry, the 24 pound "Lunar" struck him on the head!!   :-)   Good luck with your posting on Craigslist...hopefully, you'll come across a few sane folks!!

Take care,
Dennis
