We did visit (not search) the graveyard where a burial service was interrupted by a fifteen pound meteorite landing thirty feet from the church door. Our club did not find any Johnstown that day. However, today I purchased an 86 gram Thuathe meteorite that was found in the Ha Mothoane graveyard by Motlalepula Ramoabi. I trust that Motalepula did not use a burial shovel to dig this meteorite out of the ground as did the gentlemen at Johnstown, Colorado, during the burial service on that warm July day. I have Mr. Chauncey Walden to thank for bringing this meteorite from a most unusual location to my attention. Mr. Walden has some Thuathe left for sale (our club members purchased some from him tonight). And to the guys on this list that eat meteorites, my answer is...NO WAY, you sick puppies!
