Greetings to all.  I am new to the online world of shell enthusiasts.  I
have been a marine environment enthusiast all of my life.  Grew up in SoCal
in the 40's and 50's.  I began collecting in earnest about ten years ago and
am now enjoying the challenge of collecting photographically molluscs in
their native habitat.  I enjoy swapping stories.  I read with interest the
article in the June 97 issue of COA magazine authored by Gene Everson.  How
can I contact  Brian and Mary Bailey in the Solomon Is to rent some time on
their boat Wyuna?  Help would be appreciated.  Jusrt returned from a trip to
the BVI with some great photos of LARGE Charonia variegata on lush grass.
