[meteorite-list] New Monthly Meteorite Column on Geology.com

[ALMitt]

Hi Geoff and all,

Very nicely done! Great photos, great writing and very well put. For the 
first installment, I think you covered some very important items that 
people who start out in our field need to know. Good luck on this column 
and I look forward to future installments! My best!
