Cones from my travels: Gavin Malcolm

"My collection was started after a vacation on Sanibel Island in 1993. For ten years, I travelled extensively on business and I often took time out to relax and meet with shell friends or visit the local dealer, taking the opportunity to build my Conus collection and make new friends."
