Dolores Hill should be congratulated for a large part of the success of this event. She and her colleagues conducted a monumental effort to contact finders and classifiers and collectors of Arizona meteorites, and then to arrange to have these people and their meteorites brought to this event in order to mingle with the LPL researchers and to meet the general public. Just the making of labels and the setting up of the display cases and posters was a laborious task that wasn't finally completed until just minutes before the doors opened at 6PM (January 30th).

I know that, speaking for myself, there was a very short period of transition-time from the Exhibition to the Tucson Show. So short, in fact, that I wasn't able to pick-up from Dolores Hill the meteorites that I had loaned for the Exhibition display until after the Tucson Show!
By the way, the meteorites from my collection that I loaned for display were:
Bluebird
Franconia - the first one, from which the type specimen was classified.
Gold Basin (L6) - a.k.a.,"Hualapai Wash 010"
Red Dry Lake 002 through 009
Sacramento Wash 002 - from the classified stone (from which the type specimen was obrtained).
Warm Springs Wilderness - an endcut from the classified stone (from which the type specimen was obrtained).
Willcox Playa 002
Willcox Playa 004
Willcox Playa 005
Willcox Playa 006
Willcox Playa 007

Due to time constraints and the size of some of the specimens, not all of my meteorites got to be displayed. The following images are of those specimens that didn't get to be displayed:

Will there be other Arizona Meteorite Exhibitions in the Future?
I can only hope so. But, I asked Dolores Hill this same question, and she pointed out that this was all part of a 50th anniversary celebration for the LPL and she sincerely hopes that it won't be another 50 years before the next Exhibition, but she hopes that whoever runs the next event that they have a less arduous job getting it organized. Possibly using another venue, there could be a future Exhibition sooner. Maybe hold it at ASU? But given the rate of increase in the number of AZ meteorite finds being made, we may need to hold the next Exhibition at the Convention Center!

Even if it has to be held elsewhere, I do hope that there will be more Arizona Meteorite Exhibitions in the near future.
