Hello Conch-L, My name is Eddie and I live in Connecticut. I just joined the list and this is a brief introduction about myself. I am 14 years old and have been very interested in shells since I was 8. I enjoy collecting around our home in Connecticut and try to get to the beach any time I can. I have also collected on trips to Sanibel Island in Florida and The Florida Keys. I am interested in just about any type of shell(terrestrial and marine)and I hope that Conch-L will increase my knowledge shells. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
