Hi, I'm called the Meteorite King...
I was one of those geeky kids who used to go with friends to visit the Hayden Planetarium every Saturday and Sunday, back in 1949 through 1956, when I left New York City to live with my Mom in Hollywood, California, where she worked as story editor for Alfred Hitchcock.
I started my humble meteorite collection with a book by Neininger. It had a little Canyon Diablo meteorite, about 4 grams, glued onto the inside back cover, visible through a little hole that had been punched through from front cover to the last page. I still have that quarter-sized book in my collection, plus several dozen beauties that I bought from his daughter several years later....

Note:
Hi, this it the web geek that has been given the task of redoing the MeteoriteKing.com website. If you are one of the thousands coming to this site after meeting the King at one of many street fairs, expos, or festivals -- my apology. The King did his part. I have the content sitting safely on my desktop computer. But alas, a major client (Cisco) called me back for an emergency contract -- I tell them "plan ahead boys, plan ahead" but committee work seems to dictate action under emergency, endless planning when not in an emergency. In any case, mea culpa (that's fancy latin for the ball was in my court). Come back soon. The 404s will be gone, and you should be able to browse all of the wonderful content currently tucked away in a folder on my computer. Meanwhile, be sure to check out the full story. It's really quite interesting -- especially if you have just been bitten by the meteorite bug. |
