Andrew , you wrote "the name "Slobodan" means "Free, independent, courageous
and
>spirited" according to the Serbo-Croatian dictionary. "
This reminds me of a girl i once knew named Angel, she definately wasn't
.....
BTW, There are some real neat bivalves on the croatian coast like Pinna
Nobilis (Linne 1758) , they grow upwards of 60 cm !!!! the one i got in
trade was much smaller, the largest piece was maybe 20 cm and there were
lots of them. Mark James & Peta Susan Bethke
