I hope someone brings back some good photos from the COA convention. I am eager to see a few of the people I have talked to on the list. I'm sad that I didn't get to go this year, but perhaps next year(Since the convention will be in Houston next year, my dad is the one who will take me, as my mom despises Texas, maybe because of the large number of insects and the heat). If anyone wants to see a photo of me, go to this address: http://www.schnr-specimen-shells.com/MyPage.html This is Ross Mayhews personal page with photos. My photo is under the "friends" section of the page. It has a long download time. Kind Regards, James
