Sunday, January 22, 2012 Today we remember a Good Friend, who proves, you do not have to be born in Key West, to be a Conch. Click Dink. Welcome to one of the World Wide Web's first Perpetual Web-sites. Everything that the first person visiting this site saw, will be seen by the next person. N.S.Sherlock is a pen name and Creature was created on another web site.  This website's main focus, is on Superconchs, that this writer, a conch, who spent the first fifty years of his life in Key West, knew during those years. In the whole scheme of time and space a lifetime, is no more than a blink of a eye. This site will recognize some of the lives of this time. An attempt to explain this site better is at the bottom of the page. -N.S.Sherlock

Click on Olden Days to read the first article remembering some great people of Key West yesterdays. It will serve as an example of the type of articles that we want other writers to submit. Although the writer does not fully describe the great lives of the people mentioned, in future articles we hope to provide more details of there lives and you are encouraged to do so. You must use a pen name, only write of people that have passed and NO negative comments. Superconchs are people of Key West Yesterdays and do not necessarly have to be conchs.

Explanation

Coming up with an explanation has become increasingly difficult not to come off as some kind of weirdo, morbid idiot, living in the past. Oops too late! Many people believe that by remembering someone, they live on. By putting their names on pyramids the Egyptians were able to have them repeated thousands of years after they passed. Names remembered here are people that had an influence on us, however small or large and with the exception of the two U.S. Presidents seen, they are all people that this writer and many others knew growing up in Key West. By no means do I suggest that I played any role in their lives, a few maybe, but some barely knew me. Nor do I suggest that any of these people admired me in anyway, but they all tolerated me and believe most of them had genuine concern for my well being. I definitely admired and in some cases loved them. It is my hope to honor them with the respect and dignity they all deserve. Someone once said that being a conch was nothing more than a state of mind. I think it is a state of mind and more. Having a liberal view of who should be considered a conch,it once occured to me that anybody who stayed on the island during hurricane Georges' or any other hurricane for that matter, could be considered a conch. This is somehting that each person can decide for themselves, but I have always been extremely proud to be a conch. The body and mind may reside in another city by my heart is still roaming the streets of Key West. It should be obvious to everyone that I am a norvice at this web-site thing, if you have suggestions or want to participate please E-mail: sherlock@superconchs.com
