[AGA Member] Keep up the good work

["Donna McGraw" <donnamcg@swbell.net>]

I'm off on vacation tomorrow but I expect you bunch of enthusiasts to still
be active when I return :-).  I need to get that 48 gal aquarium up and
running.  Thanks for all your help and if anyone has any extra ferns they
need to get rid of, I could find a good home for them.
