Dear Soopyshell,
  Welcome to the wonderful world of shells and all the many facets involved
with collecting and identifying each of them. Hope you will enjoy the
fellowship and camaraderie of our group. You might take a few more minutes to
tell us about yourself. What do you do for a living, are you married, do you
have a family, is there a particular family of shells you collect, where else
have you collected shells besides yard sales? We welcome you in our midst.
Shellingly, DanShell
