Dear Richard,
I wonder if the donation towards the camera means that Jerry is somewhat
accountable.
Hopefully the status of the project changed since I spoke with someone
(about 6 months ago) who said he was in touch with him.
Can the Broward Shell Club perhaps send a note requesting to know what stage
the project is at?
What is the equivalent of carrot-and-stick in the conchological world?
Waiting for manna-script from heaven,
David
Durham, NC
