Hi Jeff:

Welcome to Conch-L!  You may also be interested in joining the Conchologists
of America which is a
group of folks all over the world interested in anything to do with shells.
If you would like to learn more
about us, send me your snail mail address and I will be glad to send you a
sample of our magazine,
the American Conchologist and membership information.
