Spotlight on: Doris Underwood, COA President 1992-94

摘要

“Doris” means "born of the sea." What an appropriate name for Doris Underwood, newly reelected President of COA! Born on Long Island's South Shore, the infant Doris appears in baby pictures at water's edge, and she shares the same birthday (September 28) with COA's own “Mr. Seashell," Tucker Abbott (she points out he's nine years older!). A lifelong shell collector, she amassed her first collection, a wooden cigar box full, as a small child. "They were probably mostly bivalves, badly worn," she adds.
