I demand a recount!
My find, in reality, did weigh more than 1.45kg. I didn't sift through
the sand and I left a bunch of fragments for the next person to come
along. (Call me crazy!) From what I heard, another~100 grams or so come
out of the dirt.
I'm gonna think of it as a tie!

Hi all,
Dr. Gibson's stone weighed 1.5 kg. That what his article in
Meteoritics says.
(v. 5, no. 1, 1970, "Discovery of another Meteorite Specimen from the
1912
Holbrook, Arizona Fall Site").
Still beat you Larry, but not by much ;-)

measley 1.45 Kg.

Hi Greg,
I second Greg's nomination, and completely agree! I just donated a
few small specimens to Dr. Everett K. Gibson (and NASA) for some
spectacular work they're in the midst of.
Some of you many not be aware that Dr. Everett K. Gibson is one of
Carleton Moore's graduate students and (as far as I know) has the
record for the second largest Holbrook find in the last 50 years - 3.5
kilos. Larry (Lucky Dog) Atkins has the largest!
Keep up the great work!

Dear List Members,
For the last two years that I know of, Dr. Everett K. Gibson has been
nominated for the Meteoritcal Society’s Leonard Medal and a
nomination for
this year is soon to be made. While I am not a Meteoritical Society
member
at current time, I would encourage as many members to nominate or
second the
nomination of Everett for his outstanding contributions to the
scientific
community and more!! Everett is Senior Scientist and Astrobiologist
in the
Astromaterials Research Office at NASA-JSC. If non-members
nominations or
seconds ARE considered, I certainly do nominate and/or second Everett
for
the Leonard Medal!!
The rules allow for any number of seconders. To be a seconder you
should
write (email) to the Chairman of the Leonard Medal Committee Herbert
Palme
([email protected]). In case I have that wrong you should send a
copy
to Greg Herzog ([email protected]). The deadline is January 15th. I
hope
you will feel you would like to support Everett.
Best Regards,
Greg
