dc.description.transcription	Jan 14, 1970 Dear Oscar, Thought you would be interested in knowing how lucky the Cambridge, Mass. Boys were in locating the "Tahlequah fireball!" Apparently, my Springdale Observer gave observations that were more northerly than actually was the case! But perhaps other meteor fragments are yet to be located! What do you think? Better luck next time! With best regards! Tom
