Hi, Frank
I went to both the COA and the Florida Jambree and both were great.  I must
say I got really carried away at the bourse and spent more money than I had
planned.  examples of my extravagance were: C. fultoni (Gem) $250; C exusta
(G) $100; Strombus oldi (G) $100;a georgeous C aurantiumm deep orange, 92 mm
$75; a pair of C guttata (F++) for $100; and a Conus excelsus for $150.  I
have saved a little bit for purchases from you and am looking forward to
list 3 of Mark's cones.
