Regarding the rice paste shells. John and Esther Lewis from first the Chicago Shell Club, then laMaybe Randy Allamand knows where it is right now or has a photo of it. Esther was on the early Oprah Winfrey Show and may have shown it, although, I think she was on it for her pet alligators. Loved that couple. I mentioned Randy as he was close friends with them after they moved to Florida. Their daughter may have gotten it after they passed.Carole Marshall In a message dated 5/16/2020 7:44:13 AM Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: I have the book and can photograph it for you, but sorry I have no way to scan it at home.
