Larry,

It has been 41 years since, and I can remember it
well, and that is amazing. To have had the details
confirmed recently by Jeff Wark is even more amazing.
Had that stone wall been there, and not demolished in
road widening, I am sure Jeff would have found a nice
15 lb or so, stone meteorite. Cemented in the jamb
right near and adjacent where the gate handle would
have been.

You know, I don't know if Nininger ever found one in a
stone wall. But I know that he looked. It would only
be logical.
