I can't shed any more light.  I was only thinking of this as an opportunity
for any nearby AGA members or other Cryptocoryne enthusiasts to meet Jan
Bastmeijer.  I wasn't thinking of this as an 'official' AGA meeting.  I See
that Chris Borgese has set the time for Jan to speak at 11:15 Sunday.  I
hope to have at least another hour, possibly two, for informal discussion.
I will email Chris to see if the room will be available for an extended
discussion and get back to you.
