[meteorite-list] Park Forest Meteorite, Winslow St. House

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Michael and list,

The Winslow St. was one of the more well known "impact" locations.  The 
house, yard, car, et al, was showered with a large stone (~2 kg.) that 
shattered in the street and it became the focal point of collectors. The 
most damaged spot, a "crater" as the homeowners called it was in the siding 
by the door.  The meteorite broke siding in several spots, but by the door, 
it went through the siding, insulation and put a nice mark on the clap 
board.  I purchased the "crater" from the home owner last year.  (Several as 
found siding pieces are also in my collection....one of which is "ejecta" 
from my crater). For which my friends still make fun of me (.....and picking 
up a blown up X-Prize space capsole/nosecone the following month didn't help 
that.)

With the help on the homeowner's I documented the Winslow St. events for 
Meteorite Times.
