> I was almost in tears when we spoke to the school, and those  
> hundreds of kids all were chearing and having so much fun.
> When the little boy found the meteorite, you saw for yourself that  
> the other kids were carrying him like some sort of football hero. It  
> was priceless, and moving, and
> I think we really touched them. As I said, the science teacher was  
> also overwhealmed with emotion that this was happening to his  
> students.
> What happened there was a piece of history, and this meteorite fall  
> is so different from Ash Creek, where the locals were very  
> uninviting, Wisconsin is almost 100 % success rate for permission to  
> hunt, and eveyone is so interested in the meteorite.
> That kid and the fact that he found a meteorite minutes after our  
> talk is such a great story.
> CNN is focusing on that, and the story will be out tomorrow or  
> Monday I was told today.
