If anyone has a collection of Nininger letters, I'm requesting a search for
the one regarding the Newport meteorite.

Just after the Paragould fall, the media frenzy alerted some farmer to
check the iron rock he plowed up. The farmer contacted Nininger, I suspect,
via mail.

I've been to Newport dozens of times on social visits, and have tried to
find clues where this damn this is. The old folks at the retirement home
only remember one was found.

I'm going to be stuck in Newport again over Christmas, and desperately want
a lead that I can start researching. After 8 years, I'm at a deadend on
this.
