> I was almost in tears when we spoke to the school, and those
> hundreds of kids all were chearing and having so much fun.
> When the little boy found the meteorite, you saw for yourself that
> the other kids were carrying him like some sort of football hero. It
> was priceless, and moving, and
> I think we really touched them. As I said, the science teacher was
> also overwhealmed with emotion that this was happening to his
> students.
> What happened there was a piece of history, and this meteorite fall
> is so different from Ash Creek, where the locals were very
> uninviting, Wisconsin is almost 100 % success rate for permission to
> hunt, and eveyone is so interested in the meteorite.
> That kid and the fact that he found a meteorite minutes after our
> talk is such a great story.
> CNN is focusing on that, and the story will be out tomorrow or
> Monday I was told today.
