Dear Geoff, Steve and List,

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...................... THE Dream for a meteorite hunter... And it came true for one of the best, so heads off to
Mr Steve Arnold. I'm really happy for you and I'm sure that I can hardly imagine how your heart was beating when you reached this
piece of heaven at the bottom of the hole you dug. What a find!!!!!! It is simply fantastic and once again I wish to congratulate
you for what I imagine to be a looooooooooooong and haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard search, knowing that it is so rare to be successful. You
deserve it and also what appears to be very good relation ship with the owner of the land where you found this beauty.
I guess nobody will say that the term of "museum piece" is over estimated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A big thank to Geoff who managed to keep mute for all those days (must have been a "nightmare" not to be able to talk about it!..)
and provided the 1st links.

Best wishes to all of you!

> Greetings All:

> Well it's been a long, tiring, and exciting day. I offered to help
> Steve handle the P.R. related to his find, so there have been a lot of
> calls from TV stations and newspapers, and a lot of running around
> today for me, and even more so for Steve. I just spoke with him. He got
> back to his motel room and was able to read all your emails. I'm sure
> your congratulations meant a lot to him, and I certainly enjoyed them.
> It's great to be able to share this with friends and fellow
> enthusiasts.
>
> I received many private emails today from List members, and I apologize
> for not answering them yet. I have been on the phone all day with CNN,
> ABC, and multiple newspapers.
>
> One request from Steve: anyone around the country who happens to see a
> news story about the big Brenham, would you please email the details to
> me (Geoff) off-List. We're trying to keep track of which cities have
> aired the piece.
>
> I now have the okay to say that I was up in Brenham with Steve for five
> days while many of you were at the Munich show, though I was not
> allowed to say anything to anyone until now. You can imagine how
> difficult that was! I got to hang out with the big rock in person, and
> we zoomed all over the strewn field on Steve's ATV and had many
> adventures. Our good friend Dr. Art Ehlmann of the Monnig Gallery also
> visited the strewn field and the big pallasite. It is definitely

> you're seeing the trailing end.

> In Greensburg, KS, there is a charming little museum with Stockwell's
> 1,000 lb Brenham on display. The front of the museum proudly displays a
> hand painted sign with shooting star and states that it is home to "THE
> WORLD'S LARGEST PALLASITE."
>
> We just couldn't resist. Steve made up a little handwritten sign that
> said "2nd" and held it up in front of "Largest." Got photos, will
> share.
>
> Thanks to everyone who wrote emails of support to Steve. More news when
> we have it.
