[meteorite-list] NJO ownership

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello MT,

You noted, "What few know about was the lawsuit by the stuck tenant to get 
ownership of the meteorite, it failed."

Correct, after the meteorite fell, the Air Force took it.  Mrs. Hodges only 
got it back by threatening to sue and then the home owner sued Mr. and Mrs. 
Hodges for the meteorite.

The Hodges ended up moving to a smaller residence after the lawsuit was 
filed and in a short time after losing the case, the Hodges filed for 
divorce.  Looking back years later, Mrs. Hodges thought the encounter with 
the meteorite was the worst thing that had ever happened to her.  In the end 
it destroyed her life and all she received was a small note in history, a 
hospital bill and an embarrassing photograph in Life magazine.


Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
