North Shore friends...need a favor

[FresnoRipper]

Asking for a favor from anybody on the North Shore, or who can drive up there. A friend of a friend was recently killed in the line of duty working for a small agency in Oklahoma. He was a motor officer with a young family and was struck and killed by a passing motorist.

He was born and raised in Oahu and was an officer for Honolulu PD for a while before getting married and relocating to Oklahoma to be closer to his wife's family.

My buddy has asked me if I know anybody that would be able to gather some shells from a beach on the North Shore. He and his wife want to make a necklace of shells from Hawaii for his widow as a Christmas gift.

Anybody that is willing to help or will be passing thru, I would be very appreciative of your efforts. Can you send me a PM if you can help out?

Thank you

Sorry for your loss Fresno. You are a good friend.

Could be bad karma? I thought not supposed to take shells according to the brady bunch

I’m on the north shore right now. I saw the post earlier and when I was on the beach, all I found were really tiny shells. I’m here until Tuesday, so I’ll keep an eye out. Sorry for your loss.

Or I can purchase a necklace for her. They have a wide variety of prices. Not too concerned about a shell necklace breaking the bank. PM me if you are interested.

Shells are fine to take for personal use, just don't sell them.
I think it's fine in this case.

Native Hawaiian out!

this is a beautiful gesture, and an example that not all people on the erBB are assholes. except that one guy. (couch cough, the new mod, cough cough.)

I defer to Racer1for Hawaiiana but this is interesting.

Snopes fact check:

Well, since finding blue shells was like finding a needle in a haystack, I purchased a blue necklace at a gift shop…the Brady bunch clip also helped my decision

Hope it was a local artisan

Just wanted to say thanks to xxx for the helping hand. Appreciate the input from the erBB brain farm as well. Cheers bois
