Hello Listers,
Its been a crazy day in NYC today with the snow and slush but all has melted
and I received a package in the mail today of a Norton County meteorite,
weighing at 2.33g from Dr LaPaz collection. Within the package, I also received
copies of news paper clippings From the Norton Daily Telegram, dated May 1,
1948 from the meteorite fall, and Dr LaPaz comes up in every article. In one
of the clippings there is a photograph of him standing by the meteorite being
lifted out of the ground. I haven't read anything about Dr LaPaz till a week
ago and was wondering what significance had he had in the meteorite community?
I also Wiki him and from what I saw on Wiki, Dr LaPaz was smart guy and got
his PhD at a young age. Lastly, along with the meteorite specimens I also
received a trinitite fragment weighing at 1.79g that he had collected from the
Trinity project and was wondering if people on the list knew much about this
stuff.
