Hi June,
Our exhibit IS his exhibit - original and untouched, except for some cleaning! Come and see it and relive the fabulous 70s.

Hi Paul -- I didn't get to know Neil personally, but his Nautilus exhibit was an inspiration to me, as a new sheller just moved to Sanibel.? I was so impressed with his exhibit when I saw it at the Sanibel Show, that I was encouraged to learn more about these wonderful things that I was picking up on the beach.? I hope your display in Philly will be as beautiful as his was.? Good luck on the show.
June Bailey

Subject: [CONCH-L] Neil M. Hepler rides again
Folks,
The Philadelphia Shell Club is pleased to announce that as a special feature of
the 2008 Philadelphia Shell Show it will be reviving one of the spectacular
shell exhibits by the late Neil Hepler of Deerfield Beach, Florida. It is his
masterpiece, a 34-foot display on the subject of the Nautilus. Visitors to the
show (October 11 & 12 at the Academy of Natural Sciences; details at
www.phillyshellclub.org or www.ansp.org ) will be able to see this extraordinary
piece of work restored to its 1970s glory.
I would like to ask everyone's help, however. I want to flesh out the fairly
sparse account I have of Hepler, his life and especially his exhibits and
shelling activities. If you have any stories about him, or you knew him
personally, please e-mail your information to me as soon as you can.
See you in Philly!
PC.
