Good Evening: My name is Bruce Osterberg. I live in Antioch IL. After Serving in the Navy on Various ships I thought that it was time to settle down, and now I am land locked. But I do enjoy collecting and SCUBA diving. I have had the opportunity to dive in Viet Nam, Guam, Hawaii, Philippines, and off of the coast of Guatemala. During this time I have collected only one variety of shell and that is the Cypraea Family. Still do to this day, but now I tend to buy more shells than naturally find them. But I would enjoy going on any field trips to other parts of the world for a good shelling trip. The messages that I read here are very interesting and informative, I don't think that I will be put off by the scientific Jargon that some of you use, especially the professionals among you whom I greatly envy. This is just my introduction of who I am and what I like to do. Also interested in Astronomy. Nice chatting with you.
