A classic! As a civil engineer and meteorite enthusiast, I regret never meeting Jim. How many more civil engineer meteorite nuts are lurking out there? Gotta be a few more of us... |

Jim's namesake minor planet (149244):
(149244) Kriegh = 2002 RZ240
James D. Kriegh (1928-2007) was a civil engineering professor at the University of Arizona and the founding father of Oro Valley, Arizona. A discoverer of many meteorites, he is best known for his discovery of the
15000-year-old Gold Basin meteorite strewn field in northwest Arizona. |

Here's once again what I wrote on 10 Oct. 2014: In Memoriam Jim Kriegh - On Sat, 30 Dec 2000, Jim sent me this email (excerpts): Twink and I are headed back to Gold Basin on the 3rd for a week. You might be interested to know that David Kring has told me that the Gold Basin meteorite was from 6 to 8 meters in diameter. If that is true, it means that not even 1% of the toal weight has been found. |

Thanks for sharing the picture of the Gold Basin piece Twink. I hope someday, you let us have another look at the Golden Rule. |
