Missy,
 
 
Norman,
     Hurray!!  I'm delighted to read that you won your battle with the Feds
and now have the Hero shell pens.  (By the way, how can I order one?)
 
Right now I'm only selling via auction on Ebay. If you'd like to take a look
at the auction, it's at:
 
 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=35159736
 
Currently, after only one day, the auction price is up to $225, with 6 1/2
days to go!
 
My other Hero pen auctions can be seen at:

 Meantime, thought you'd like to know that all the middle and high school
students at Genesis Preparatory School in New Port Richey, Florida, have
been following your on-line saga with great interest.  We're almost sorry
it's over - but happy for you, of course!
 
And you didn't invite me for show-and-tell? <G> What was the discussion
like?
 
     Also, in December of 1999 I will be in New Zealand.  Help!  Where is
the best shelling?  Any beach collecting?  What are the best books to read,
web-sites to visit, places to stay?  Thanks,  Missy
 
You've got me Missy! I live in NJ and the only shells I knew before posting
to this group were gasoline stations! <G>
 
Regards,
 
Norman
