Dear Listers,

After a long silence following the exercise in San Diego, the hammer 
initiating the COA Oral Auction will hit the dais a week from this 
evening on Captiva Island.

Illustrator John Timmerman has produced volume 2 of his 2019 auction 
teaser/previews with new photos on a white, printer friendly background, 
and lead COA website liaison (and VP) Karlynn Morgan has facilitated its 
posting to 
<https://conchologistsofamerica.org/conventions/2019-new-auction-preview-printer-friendly/>.

There are eight pages for your perusal; see instructions at the bottom 
of the landing page. The hard-copy catalogue (valued at five dollars), 
which is illuminated with different mages of these and many other 
specimen lots, will be provided gratis to most all conventioneers upon 
registration.

As you can see, there will be plenty of rarities in play, thanks to the 
largesse of late COA members Frederic Weiss and Walter Paine and other 
generous friends of the our organization.

Remember, all proceeds from this annual event are earmarked for the COA 
Academic Grants Program, about which registrants will be hearing a lot 
more very soon.

See you soon,
Harry
