Hoffman’s Meteorite, 1955
In 1955, Henry J. Hoffman of Egremont,
gave a “meteorite” to the Southern Berkshire Regional School District. The
district had adopted a five-point star, representing the towns of Alford,
Egremont, Monterey,
New Marlborough, and Sheffield, and the
five-star constellation Auriga came to be part of the symbolism. Thus, a
meteorite on the school premises must have seemed appropriate.
