Yeah, I remember that day. I was there with Peter Utas when he bought that stone. Bob Haag had this huge incredible 62 LB oriented ( with lipping ) meteorite on display in his room. If I can remember......... it was found in Kansas. Peter wrote a check on the spot. If he didnt I would have. It was very well priced.
Jason , does your dad still have that stone? If he does, would you care to share a picture of it with the list?
