Dear Greg, 
This is to confirm that we are aware of your arrival on Eastern flight 
#177 May 22nd and that you will be collecting ostracods with our help for the 
week of May 22. I suggest that you take a taxi directly to the La Gorce 
Motel on south Miami Beach (115 Ocean Drive) . Most taxi drivers do not know 
this motel, so it will be necessary to give him the address. The next morning 
I will pick you up at your motel at 8i20 AM and show you the way to Fisher 
Island, which is only about 3 blocks away. On Tuesday, May 23rd, you can 
set up what you need in our lab and take a quick look for ostracods in che 
muds adjacent to Fisher Island. The following day we will take you out into 
Florida Bay (a 2-hour trip from Fisher Island) by boat and collect in several 
localities where I have seen ostracods in the past. The remainder of your visit 
will depend on what we find and whether the bugs can be separated from the muds 
and isolated in finger bowls, etc. 
There will be an audience here on the island eager to hear what it is all 
about, so come prepared with slides or whatever you need to give a presentation. 
Sincerely , 
E. A. Shinn
