Dear Mark,

okay, I'll do this versus middle of november that you are sure to have
the material before january. Also the Austrian landshells as well the
Italian or from other European localities are quite interesting, but
not so colorful as the exotic ones. Many of the species I can offer
are representated with images on my homepage, but I can send
other species which are not listed on my homepage, as they are
coming from Italy, Greece, Dalmatia eg.
Did you just visit my newest contributes on my homepage.
with best shelling greetings
Helmut from Innsbruck

>Hello All, As some of you might know  Elizabeth Brown and I are organizing
>the Greater Miami Shell Club's shell show slated for January . We are
>planning a silent Auction and I have volunteered to be the organizer . I
>could really use some donations in the way of specimen shells for this
>auction. I myself have donated one of my well crafted wooden Sailing ship
>replicas , those who saw the ship at the 1998 shell show will remember the
>ship I donated for that raffle, Harvey . anyway the only complaint was that
>it was a bit too big for most decors so this year I have donated a smaller
>version at 18 in. long by 18 inch tall . built of mahogany and beech it's a
>quaint addition to any library of living room . So if there is any
>possibility that we can get a donation for any of you that would be most
>appreciated . thanks , mark bethke
