G'day again List,

Firstly thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I had 6 replies =
within an hour!!! Thanks to Rob Wesel for this information from the CoM =
page he copied and forwarded to me. From what I can gather, it seems =
that the FNMH in Chicago has PIECES totalling 40.7kg followed by 30kg in =
Washington. The largest INDIVIDUAL MASS is 7kg in Tempe at the Arizona =
State University. I believe one source said the next largest is about =
5.4kg in Melbourne. I was pleased about that one! ;-)

Thanks again to everyone,

Jeff Kuyken
