Thanks for the link. I first met Al in 1993 at the Tucson show, and 
he was smiling then, and coincidently holding the Peekskill meteorite.
I bought my first Peekskill fragment from Marlin Cilz just a few weeks
after it had hit the car.  Marlin also sent me a copy of the local
Peekskill newspaper.  On the front cover was a photo of the car with a
scientist showing the impact angle. He was using a stick - I believe
a yardstick - and had placed it through the hole in the trunk showing
how non-vertical the entry angle was.
