Talking to Mooch's sister Rachel today about the ash scattering ceremony...

I had the idea of dropping an abalone shell with a good bye message written in sharpie on it out on the water where we scatter his ashes...if several guys did it, it would create a little "shell garden" down there for him.  :smt001

She liked the idea a lot, and asked that anybody who did it to please take a pic of shell and/or message before dropping it down so that the family could have the pic as a memory....

She said bananas would also be welcome.  :smt002

She also asked about a shell to scoop the ashes with, and I said to just let me know what size she wanted and how many and I could get her some nice cleaned up pretty ones for her and the family to use when scooping ashes.

Anyway, thought you all might like to know and that some may want to join in on the "shell garden" idea.

Sincerely,

Jim

Jim, the monterey fish company at the end of the fisherman's wharf sells cleaned, small Ab shells... I have 6-7 of them if you don't have time to pick up or find some...

Many of us don't have big ab shells... Would like to do this. Anyone willing to donate some shells at the paddle?

Doesn't have to be all of us, just an idea for those who like the idea.
