[meteorite-list] Meteor Crater Visitor Comment

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Everyone,

Other KMS members are taking care of the Lawn Show so I have today off.

Here is an e-mail I got today, which the sender said I could share and I 
will since he is an Arizona resident.  I get a few like e-mails a month, 
likely due to what I wrote in 2003, linked below.

Would be nice if they took the Crater away from the Barringer family and 
made it a National Park.

Nininger also felt this way, shown here:

>Just wanted to report that I visited the crater and museum in November of

>I was pretty disgusted by their ignorance and misrepresentation of the

>Am new to the hobby of meteorite hunting and very much appreciate your
