[meteorite-list] New Orleans

[ken newton]

Hi Bruce,
After the fall on the Fausset home, Al Falster (ebay seller 'flabster'), 
a geologist from the University of New Orleans and a group of students 
collected impact fragments off the streets surrounding the residence. 
Since then, Al and others have been selling the small 'street' fragments 
on ebay.
