Re: [meteorite-list] Closest meteorite

[Allen Shaw]

I would have to second that. .....For a man who has out numbered Ninninger in finds (not recoveries), Skip truly holds the reins for meteorites hand picked from Earth to hand. And what a modest man he be.............and then, enter the Portales Valley which detonates above him (he thought it was an airplane gone awry at first), and after a 40 years or so of seeking the space invaders (1960?), this happens. Fairly unusual if you ask me. ------Shaw. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Farmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, May 03, 2002 4:19 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Closest meteorite   I would like to nominate Skip Wilson, and Gale Newbury. Skip lives about 100 yards from the closest Portales Valley piece to his house, and Gale Newbury had one fall through his barn roof. It dont get much closer than that. Mike
