Dear Conchlers,

I know I should make less jokes, but I've created a new petname for me.
When I working with shellgrit to help my mother, my name
is

Hell-Grit

Hell would stay Helli, short German name for Helmut

Hell is a Shell without a S before, so Hell-Grit

My mother's name is Irmgard and Irmgard-Grit doesm't go very well. Only Hell-Grit. But as my mother
is looking for foraminiferas I don't call her any more Mutti or Irmgard, but Fora.

Do you know what are aminiferas. My mother told me she always is looking for-aminiferas

with best shelling greetings and sorry for the self invented jokes.

But sure is that I am able to offer a few foraminiferas from the Mediterranean to some interest persons,
who like to see nice structures under a microscope, although they aren't shells.

Helmut from Innsbruck
