Hi list.I want to wish everyone a great and fantastic new year.I hope
everyone has the kind of year that you hope to have.My wife and I just got
back from galena, illinois for a news years eve bash.We had a great
time.But on the way up, we went thru woodbine illinois, home of the
WOODBINE meteorite.I told my wife to stop and see if I could get any info
on this rare specimen from illinois.It just so happen I ran into a small
time curator of a small museum there in woodbine.I asked him about the
meteorite fall from 1953,and he remembers it.He was an older gentleman and
we went into the museum and he should me a 52 gram very rustic looking
piece of the woodbind meteorite.It looked very clean except for the small
rust pits on it.He told me that it brought alot of excitement to the area
back then.That really made my day.He also should me the area where the
stone fell.It is know coverd up.That is a shame.Also having more good news
as I got home today,I had a package waiting for me.It was my 206 gram
slice of the arizona meteorite, SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS.I traded away 3 of my
pieces to get this.I decided it was not worht going after the wilamette I
wanted.I'll have pics up this week on my site of this piece.Also today and
tomorrow,then my meteorite sale ends,It will be 3 for 1 price.Pic any 3
you want, divide by 3 and that is what you pay.That is it, again from
snowless chicago, I hope you all have a great new year.
