Art,

How sad. A metro area of over a million people and no shell club? Times have
certainly changed.

Well, if you're willing to do a postmortem, maybe we can all learn something
from this. What happened -- loss of interest, personality conflicts, gradual
attrition, zeal for Negative Population Growth perhaps?

Hi all;-
     I am the President (and only remaining member) of the Cincinnati
C-Shell Club. (or the CCC, as we call it.  Our shows are quite exclusive.
No-one shows up except me. I am not responsible for the decline of any local
shell populations, since all we
got hereabouts are a few zebra snails that hitch rides up the Ohio River.
Controvery is limited. Shell trips depend on where my designated wife wants
to go each summer. (Montana is out)
    I always wanted to be president of something.
          Pres Art
