Traveling the world tour on the Beach

the news of the passing on Thursday morning, October 28, 2010, Is Cecelia White Abbott, adventurer, shell enthusiast and wife of the late R. Tucker Abbott.

He first met Cecelia Abbott during the 2008 International Seabean Symposium in Cocoa Beach. A friend Marge Bell introduced her to him as the wife of the late R. Tucker Abbott, a giant in the world of shell science. He believe, was introduced to her as a writer.

Mrs. and Mr. Abbott took great pleasure in recounting her adventurous life traveling the world tour on the beach, and the shell giant and was her enraptured audience of one, straining to hear her soft voice, which was easily overpowered by the background conversations of the Symposium crowd.



How would have loved to have gotten her stories on video to share. But he was equipped with neither the time nor the equipment to do justice to such a project, so it was not to be.

Robert Lewis Stevenson wrote “It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire.” In that regard, her efforts have surely made us all richer. Wow.
