June was an exciting month. Paul and I got out to the desert and did some meteorite hunting and some observing, took some astro-photos. Later in the month I had the pleasure of speaking to a nice group of amateur astronomers about meteorites. They seemed to really be excited about the talk. I brought a group of specimens to pass around and there were even three individuals with rocks for me to examine. None were meteorites I thought, but one was very unusual and had what sure looked like fusion crust on the outside and was found on a dry lake. However, the inside was a light colored igneous rock. I wonder if lunar or Martian has passed through my hands. I told the individual to send it off and have someone else look at it. You know that things have gone well with a talk when you finish and ask if there are any questions, and they keep you another 45 minutes, with one after another.

We have had another of our semi-famous tektite parties. Always a lot of fun when some of the local collectors and enthusiasts get together and trade stories. It is about as close to sitting around the campfire and telling tales as most of us city bound dwellers get.

We have begun the glossary of terms. As we think of more that need to be added we will. If you have a term that you do not know the meaning of; or one you think should be included send it along to me.

Starting this month Joel Schiff will be telling us each month about some of the exciting material we can expect to see in the upcoming issue of Meteorite Magazine. Which if you don't already subscribe to we highly recommend to you.

Till next month, good hunting.
