Aloha! On April 1,'09 I had the distinct pleasure of judging a mini shell show exclusively on Hawaiian shells at our regular HMS meeting. It was nice to see a great turnout with many super rarities. Here's the results as posted by HMS VP JJ Jackson- Aloha fellow shellers, Congratulations to last nights winners at the April HMS Shell Show. Many thanks to all who attended. It was a special treat for some to see very rare and exotic hawaiian shells for the first time. Maybe a show like this could become a regular event in the future. And the winners are.............................. Best Shell of the Show: Pecten waikius Mel Pang collection. Best self collected shell: Cypraea Osregaardi Collected by JJ Jackson Best self collected shell by snorkeling: Cypraea burgessi Collected by Larry Kimball Best shell HMS members pick: Harpa goodwini Chris Moe collection The winners will receive a framed photo certificate of their shell. Stay tuned for more announcements of upcoming HMS meetings and events. Thanks and Aloha JJ Jackson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] - a forum for informal discussions on molluscs To leave this list, click on the following web link: http://listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=conch-l&A=1 Type your email address and name in the appropriate box and click leave the list. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
