(meteorobs) Wayne Hally

[George Gliba]

Wayne was also a lover of meteorites.  I remember telling him about 
getting an Odessa iron
and him telling me that I got a good deal via the meteorobs list (1997). 
   I also emailed him
privately about hitting the Moroccan Lottery (an expression meteorite 
collectors understand)
when I got a meteorite that looked like an LL3.2 (NWA 5205 & NWA 5421) 
for .15 cents a gram,
and he shared my excitement.  I'm sorry I never got to meet him in 
person, but in his memory
I informally dedicate the -4 Taurid fireball I saw the night of Friday 
October 12/13 at 6:56 UT
early Saturday morning to him.  In my mind I can still see that 44 
second train hanging among
the stars.  He was a great guy.

Starry Skies,
GWG
