Lynn,
        Rosie Adams (Catherine) was a member of the Pacific Shell Club and
then moved to Las Vegas.  The Pacific Shell Club always bought shells from
her at our shell shows, but when she moved we heard nothing from her.  Is
she O.K. and does anyone have a phone number or e-mail address or snail
mail address for her.  We hope that she is well.  We'd like to contact her
as she's such a great person to know.
