I have also noticed the lack of coquinas on every beach I've been to on the
Atlantic.  Are they seasonal, or is this the result of beach renourishment?
 
Someone asked me to report on a trip 3 of our shell members took to Cherry
Grove, SC in search of lettered olives which came up as a result of
renourishment.  They found about 100 SMALL olives - most only a little over
an inch.
 
I would like to pass on something Doris Underwood had in her latest
"Capsule" which is a beautiful thought for the season:  "Yesterday is the
past, tomorrow is the future, and today is a gift-maybe that's why it's
call "the present."
 
Happy, Happy!
