Moi?? ;-)
Actually, when I first visited the Wold Cottage a couple of years ago, the=20
meteorite and it's monument was often mentioned in the advertising flyers &=20
tourist information (Wold Cottage offers bed & breakfast), but it always see=
med to=20
me that it was added more as an afterthought, than a direct tourist=20
attraction and feature.
While chatting with the owner, I told him that the Wold Cottage was a pretty=
=20
big deal in meteorite history, and that most meteorite collectors around the=
=20
world knew of it's significance in helping to gain recognition and acceptanc=
e=20
of rocks that fell out of the sky. Maybe my (over)enthusiasm helped?

<< Maybe with a bit of help from a tall person from the West coast, someone=20

Yep, Gregory was there too.......we did our best with him, but it was very=20
hard work ;-)
(Is it normal for someone to travel internationally, with a jar of pickled=20
jalapenos??)

Cheers,
