> 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.
