About a month ago I was on this list looking for information about Natica
shells.  The shells in my possession were made into beads and are associated
with a burial from Fishers Island, NY.  I received a phone call from an
associate of a list member that lives in North Stonington, Connecticut.  I
misplaced this woman's phone number and was hoping that someone may know it.
She has done some shell identification for Mystic Aquarium and has an
interest in wampum beads.  I am indebted for any information the list can
provide so I can have these shells positively identified.

        hi;

        I specialize in 386s & 486s, DOS and Win 3.1

        If you want you can get in touch with me and I will do my best to
answer any
        questions you have.

        Java is a problem with win 3.1  It requires 32 bit operating systems
such as
        win 95 or linux to work properly.  Dos and win 3.1 are 16 bit.

        Hope this helps.  I still use a 386 in my studio for preparing
materials
        when i am there for when I go home in the evenings.
