Hi List!

What an awesome story that restores a little of my faith in humanity. :)

We should all get together and send Mr. Lynch a Thank-You Card,
a bottle of Maker's Mark, and a Cohiba Robusto.

I am curious as all heck about the journey this meteorite took
after it was stolen. Who was the attorney who claimed to
represent the "owners" some time back? How did they get it?
Did they get spooked and dump it off at a Goodwill donation box?
And how lucky do you have to be, to find a one-of-a-kind museum
meteorite for $10 next to a bunch of cheap knick knacks in a
thrift store? Wow. It sounds like an Encyclopedia Brown mystery!

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi Frank & list
I just put up a page that shows all of the postcards (4) I have of the
"Basket" and once referred to as the "Ring" meteorite. Some of the
postcards mention a weight of 49 pounds and even have the weight
written on the iron in white (paint?). I wonder if that is still on
it?
