Al flew from New York while Adam flew from Seattle and they = met at the airport in Chicago early this morning. We should have speedy = preliminary results through the University of Washington like we did = with Bensour. While they were in route, I called and interviewed the local police = chief and others to arrange meetings for Adam and Al once they landed. = They did meet with the chief and the Univeristy of Chicago along with = dozens of residents of the area. They report that the fall appears to be about 40 kilos so far but will = probably grow once more reports come in. At first glance, it appears to = be an LL6 chondrite like Bensour and Kilabo but with a courser crust. It = is loaded with troilite like the others also. This fall is definately a "hammer" as two houses, a fire house and at = least two cars were hit. Adam and Al are educating locals what to look = for and were told of one instance where a dog found a freshly crusted = stone also! They are canvasssing the neighborhoods and mapping the = strewn field by addresses at the outset and will follow up with GPS = coordinates as time allows. If anyone in the Illinois area would like to get in contact with Adam = and Al, please call Adam on his cell number at (425) 591-8738. They will = be in the area for a few days or as long as it takes. I will report more as word comes in. Take care, Greg Hupe IMCA 2185 ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C2F48D.B9CBC320 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Dear list members,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am posting for my brother, Adam and = Al Lang who=20 both flew to the Illinois fall within three hours of hearing about it = last night=20 and were the first non-locals to arrive and start interviewing and = collecting=20 specimens.
