| We
lost one of the truly great men in the world on December 8th, 2016.
Larry Sloan (Pops to me) was well loved and will be missed at every
show. They just won't be the same without his smiling face and quick
wit.And popcorn, purple plates, and silver tincture! Pops was always interested in every kind of meteorite and every story that came with it. He hunted meteorites for decades and was very well respected in the meteorite community. There was never a stranger as far as Pops was concerned. I love you and miss you Pops. |

| The
top picture is one of my favorites - this is the meteorite that Larry
doused and believed it to be over 200 pounds! :-) We were all pleased
with it no matter what the weight ended up being - the smile on
Pops face tells it all!! |

| This
is another of my favorite pictures. Pops found the 2nd largest
Franconia Iron Meteorite ever found - and it is shaped like a heart! It
is one of my favorite meteorites in our collection. Pops being Pops;
when he decided to sell it to me he informed me that there would be ONE
condition to the sale - that he would retain VISITATION with the
meteorite! So every gem show I had to make sure that I brought it so
that he got his visitation! LOL |
