 Darryl and all, thanks for the congrats. 

> 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.
