Hello Everett,

How exciting to have you chime in on this!

It looks like our two stones weighed very near the same.
When you found yours, I was only three years old, a long way off from
my meteorite hunting days!

I was wondering about the degree of weathering of your stone when found
in 1968, was it in pieces or was it whole? Also, are there any pictures
of it, and where might it reside now?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

For the record. The 1968 Holbrook specimen I recovered weighed 1,560
grams
[Meteoritics vol 5, pp 57-60 (1970). E. K. Gibson, Jr].
    Larry, hope this assists with the accounting for Holbrook recovered
specimens.
