[meteorite-list] Lorton Update

[Gary Chase]

Nice webpage, Mr Hankey.  Great story and photos.
 
I was wondering about one thing you said -- Personally I think I’m going to sit the rest of this one out. I can only handle one fireball at a time.
 
Why would you leave an area where a meteorite was found to go back to Penn. to work on a fireball where nothing has been found all these long months?  I would think you would want to work where there is a bigger chance of success.
 
Good job on keeping us all informed.
 
Gary
