Dear Patti and anyone else looking for Tom,
 
Tom Rice left last week for a month in the Phillipines. There he must endure
the tropical climate, exotic shelling, warm waters, and of course, the
ridiculously low prices on rare seashells. Poor Tom. He will return
12/14/98. In the meantime, I am handling his online directory of
conchologist submission forms (thanks to all of you who responded!) and
general web business.
 
Also, I would like to announce that I just posted a sheller's hangman game
on http://www.ofseaandshore.com. It is a java applet, so you need a web
browser that is java enabled. It's kind of fun, good chance to test your
knowledge of shell terms. Take care- Aaron
 
p.s. Here's an odd request, and a long shot at that. Does anyone know if the
company Maxilla & Mandible, Ltd has an e-mail address or webpage? I've had
no luck searching for one.
