Horatio,
Didn't realize this was an epidemic with shell clubs. You're the second one
to say they had quit printing a newsletter. If I hear of any good
suggestions, I'll pass them.
Speaking of newsletters, since this is going out to the whole list, the
Palmetto Shell Club has a new newsletter editor. Her address is Hazel
Andress
7 Holly Tree Court
Columbia, SC 29204
Her e-mail is [log in to unmask] (Think that's right) She's the
former president of the club. We swapped jobs!
Won't be at COA--I'm waiting to see what the quacks think needs to be done
to my back.
Carol
