Aloha!
On April 1,'09 I had the distinct pleasure of judging a mini shell show
exclusively on Hawaiian shells at our regular HMS meeting. It was nice to
see a great turnout with many super rarities. Here's the results as posted
by HMS VP JJ Jackson-





  Aloha fellow shellers,





   Congratulations to last nights winners at the April HMS Shell Show.
Many thanks to all who



attended.



It was a special treat for some to see very rare and exotic hawaiian
shells for the first time. Maybe a



show like this could become a regular event in the future.





 And the winners are..............................





Best Shell of the Show:





  Pecten waikius         Mel Pang collection.





Best self collected shell:





 Cypraea Osregaardi    Collected by JJ Jackson





Best self collected shell by snorkeling:





  Cypraea burgessi      Collected by Larry Kimball





Best shell HMS members pick:





  Harpa goodwini          Chris Moe collection









     The winners will receive a framed photo certificate of their shell.
Stay tuned for more



announcements of upcoming   HMS meetings and events.







            Thanks and Aloha      JJ Jackson
