Hi everyone,
 
I quietly stopped my email about two months ago, as I had a small crisis
in our family, but I have just "set conch-l mail" again, so maybe I can
catch up with what's going on in the shell world.
 
I'll be forwarding a few of questions I've received over the last couple
of weeks from non-Conch-L-ers, so any of you that would like to, feel
free to respond to them directly.
 
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
 
Travis
