Hi Al and All,

Um, regarding Blaine, that would be =B3had=B2 part of the actual meteorite. I
got his last piece, a 200+g complete slice yesterday and he gave me the
information I passed on to the List.

I am in search for more info because if Plainview is actually a witnessed
fall, and it did hit something, and I have a piece of the original material
collected the morning after the fall, then I would like to document the
story as best as possible to preserve the providence of my slice.

Cheers,

Martin
