I want to thank everyone for all of the kind kind words. It makes me
feel much better.
I also just want to make sure everyone knows that
the U of W DID NOT cut this stone. I do not want anymore trouble caused
over this. I cant believe it happened in the first place. We both lost
out. Me and the U, they were going to get a nice donation. They can
thank the members who called and bit#$%! them out over it. The guys I
talked to up there were very nice and very helpful. I still may donate a slice of a few grams to them. They have very very little material from
this fall, they should have more, there is no doubt.
Thanks again for all of the kind words from everyone, you all know who you are, there
are too many to list right now, but THANKS!!
and I will be posting
the pics soon. I am on my way to the schools here in town to show all
the kids my endpiece and let some actually touch what they seen fly
through the sky. I can't wait to see how they react, I have already
shared it with some classes and have been asked to come back and share
with the rest of them, this is really cool for me.

Best Wishes,
Joe Kerchner

You have done well, Joe. It is your call; ignore the egotistical, arrogant, and overbearing jerks who try to make the world their fiefdom. I have walked the miles in the heat and weather, slept in the wind and cold and rain, and I know you earned it.
Regards,
Paul

> Sorry for the delay, I got very very busy today and was not around last night. Ill post the pics of the slices in the AM.
> I got it sliced even tho a couple list members tried very hard to stop it, a couple even contacted the University that was going to do it for me and complained, caused a big stink and got people in trouble for offering to help. People need to get out there and find their own pieces, and then they can worry about cutting it or not cutting it. After they walk nearly 200 miles and hunt for over 100hrs and spend lots of money on the hunt. Then we will see what they want to do with their only find.
> For me I wanted really bad to keep a piece, that find meant a whole lot to me, but I am not able to afford to keep the entire piece in my collection, I am struggling for $$ right now being laid off and having 4 kids. I need the $$ but really want to keep a piece of it. The only way to do that is to have it sliced.
> I am sure there will be a larger piece found, if not already. I know of another 300+gr stone found already.
