Thank you very much for your mail and for the info you've been finding
out for me.
I will be able to join the convention this weekend. I'll be leaving on
Thursday night. I'm think of going to National Aquarium in Baltimore; heard
that it's the best in the country. Jan's talk on Cryptocoryne in on Saturday
and I'd like to join. The auction is also interesting. I'll then register at
the gate.
Hope to see you.
Dear Arthit,
Nice to hear from you! We'd love to have
you join us if you can work it out. Here is what one of the organizers
wrote:
"We've got
some capacity of adding 'last minute' folks to the banquet. So,
although
I cannot promise him a spot there (first come first serve), there
is a
chance he'd be able to attend the banquet.
As far as registration,
yes he should be able to walk in and
register on Saturday morning.
Registration will close at 10 AM
on Saturday, so he should try and make
it there earlier."
Even if you
can't make it to the AGA convention, keep the NEC convention (Hartford,
CT) in March in mind. It is a general aquarium convention, not
just for plants, but Christel Kasselmann will be speaking, so there will be
a lot of us "plant folk" in attendance!

Dear Karen,
I'm Arthit Prasartkul. Hope you can still remember me. I wrote a
Cyrpts from Thailand article for your journal a while ago.
Guess what? I'm now in New York, doing my Master's Degree in
Environmental Policy at Columbia University. I have just heard about AGA
convention and glad that this year theme is also involved
Cryptocoryne.
I'm thinking of attending some of the talks but still not so sure if
I can make it to D.C. on that weekend. Maybe you know this, would I be
able to register right at the talk?
I know Jan Bastmeijer well but haven't yet met in
person. Also, it would be good to meet you and other hobbyists.
It's bad that it's getting very cold. I'm so keen to go on a field trip
collecting and seeing AMercican aquatic plants. I just want to get relaxed
from hard work at school!
All the best from now.
Arthit
