Hi Folks, Bob's post made me start thinking with my "AGA" hat, rather than my "NEC" hat which I've been busiliy wearing as I prepare all the illustrations for the convention. I was wondering if those of you who are coming would let me know so that I have an idea of how many "core" people we'll have. The people I'm expecting so far are: Myself Jack David Mary Merrill Although not MC members, other "plant people" of note that are either definitely or probably coming include: Claus, of course Dave G. George Booth (who I'm also trying to arrange as a speaker for our BAS meeting on Monday nite following NEC (3/20) Jack, David and Mary (when you get back) - Do you want to set up a small tank? I think, between us, we could put together something nice quite easily. Jack, do you have one of your cute little cube tanks that is not currently in use? Finally - I had a thought about a "theme" or speaker for the AGA meeting. I know Lee Finley will be at the convention, and I know he has put together a talk on aquatic plant literature that he presented to the SF club. I'm pretty sure I could twist his arm a little, and talk him into doing that talk at our 1:00 meeting. Or we could have an hour business meeting followed by a talk by Lee at 2:00, then a break before Claus' first talk might be a better format. What do you all think? Karen
