We're ba-ack!
    What a great COA convention. Bobbi and Doris: many thanks.
    Observations: Wonderful introduction to Nerites by Dr. Eichorst. And
Peter Dance did the same for Volutes.
                        Great to get together with friends (i.e.)
Shroeders from Bardstown, Bruce from New Mexico (you didn't expect me to
spell Albuquerque, did you?), Carol Bodine who always cheers up a day,
Tom Rice---to whom so many owe so much to (whatever).
                        Maria of La Conchiglia fame and her new American
representatives: the Dynzers. Two Dons: Pisor and Dan (who never let my
leave empty-handed.
                        Chris Takahashi, the best guest at any party.
                        And, of course, good old whatsisname and
whatsername. You thought I'd forget them, dint you?!
                        Lets do it again next year. I know a great
place. How bout Sarasota.
