Record price for Italian White truffle

Quoted message said:

According to the following news story, a 1.2 kg. Italian White truffle
sold at charity auction for €95,000 (£63,000) on Nov. 14, 2005. That
works out to a 2.64 lb. truffle, btw, one of the biggest I've ever
heard of.

Anyone know what that converts to in US $/lb.?

Google news search says the price was $111,000 US bux. So that's
$42, 045.45 per pound.

(interesting: when Agent displays the post for reading, the Euro and
Pound sterling symbols show as sort of ascii codes. But when it's
quoting in the reply, as here, the symbols are displayed.)

Mr. Wheeler: would your family tree include any Charles Wheeler(s) who
lived in or near Milton-Freewater?
(my father and his father, both long gone)

I don't think so, although my father's brother's name was Charles. He
was from Brownsville, and lived there almost all of his life.

It's possible that a Charles Wheeler from Milton-Freewater is related,
but I can't tell you how.

Ah well. Was worth the inquiry.

You might also check relatives of Henry H. Wheeler, of Wheeler County
was named for. Milton-Freewater is not that far away from Wheeler
County.
