Here's my take:

> Here's a list of current Life subscriptions:
>
> Greg Morin  Seachem Laboratories Inc.  Stone Mountain GA  - indefinite,
certainly for now
> Christel Kasselmann  14513 Teltow  Germany - Permanent
> Prof Dr Neils Jacobsen  Royal Vet and Agric. University  Denmark -
Permanent
> Karen Brown  Center for Aquatic Plants IFAS, U of F Gainsville FL -
Permanent - that's an exchange... they send me theirs so I can use it for
reprint material... we've just been doing so well with new material that
there has been no need.

> Petra van Schaik  Intermediate Publishers  Netherlands - Don't know this
person at all, though the name sounds like I SHOULD remember who he is.
> Kaspar Horst  Dupla Aquaristik  Germany - Permanent, though since he's
elderly, I don't know how permanent it will be. (he's fine now, though)
> Claus Christensen   DK-8520 Lystrup  N Denmark - Permanent
> International Aroid Society South Miami FL - Don't know.  If they're still
interested, I'd do it as a courtesy, but most Aroids aren't aquatic
> Takashi Amano  4416 Makikou, Makimachi Niigata Japan - Advertiser
> Jack O'Leary  Plympton MA - He's done enough, I'd certainly keep him on
the list (even tho he's not membership any more, he still does the NEC booth
each year)
> Dorothy Reimer   London ON  Canada - Obviously
> Erik D Olson  Seattle WA - without a doubt
> David A Lass Nahant MA - hey, he's the money man
> Lee Finley   Pascoag RI - Good friend of the AGA, I say leave him on
> Karen A Randall  Holliston MA - I'll take one even if you don't send one,
but I like to keep track of mail tiems that way
> Diana L Walstad  Chapel Hill NC - Yes
> Neil H Frank  Raleigh NC - permanent
> Paul Krombholz  Madison MS - probably s/b permanent; though he hasn't done
a lot lately, he has in the past.
> Roger Lhoest  B - 4431 Loncin  BELGIUM - no idea who this is
> Cheryl Rogers  Oak Point TX - Yes, because if she's not on the list, Scott
gets stuck with all the back issues
> Michael Eckardt  New Hamburg ON  CANADA - Yes! (one of my translators, a
VIP)
> Tropica Aquarium Plants   DK-8250 Egaa  Denmark - advertiser
> Nozomi Hayakawa  Aqua Design Amano  Niigata JAPAN - advertiser, but I hope
we're not paying to send this separately... Our overseas mailing costs are
too high when we're already sending to the same place!
>
> Scott, you're not on here because you still have 8 issues left!- Hey, look
at all the PAM's he has...surely more than 8 of 'em!
>
> Likewise, Michael Hellweg has 5 issues left. - He'll probably resubscribe
on his own.  If he doesn't and he writes more articles we can extend it, but
I don't think it needs to be permanent.  His "job" really never
materialized. (not entirely his fault, tho)

(not)<g>) - I would DEFINITELY add Charlene to the "indefinite" list.  She
has done a HUGE amount for the AGA, even if she didn't always do it the way
it might have worked best.  She is also one of the few public aquatic
horticulturalists in the country.

What about Peter Bradley?  While he's a little odd, and can't write, he has
been a very enthusiastic supporter of AGA, and regularly sends me articles.
I haven't used many, because, frankly, I usually have better material.  But
if effort counts for anything, he should probably be on the list.

I am on a couple of mailing lists on a complimentary basis.  What some of
them do is send out a postcard annually, just checking in to see if I'm
still interested.  If so, I just check a box and mail it back.  If not, they
drop you from the list.  This seems like a good compromise.

Input from anyone else?

Karen
