Dear Nozomi, Thanks for writing back to me. Everyone had great fun at the convention and we were able to learn a lot. Seeing and hearing Mr. Amano was the highlight and we were honored to meet and spend some time with him. I am very happy to hear about the news in Aqua Journal. As always, we look forward to seeing any news from Mr. Amano. Sorry for the confusion about the money -- things were rather hectic at the close of the convention. Thank you for helping me correct my error. I will issue a check immediately for $400 to Mr. Amano. Can you please give me a mailing address and telephone number? I will need this info to ensure that the check arrives as quickly as possible. And on behalf of all of the members of the AGA and especially the members of the AGA Board, please extend our thanks to Mr. Amano for his visit and for all the generous and important support he has given to the AGA over the years. I am glad we got to talk again, Scott Hieber --- ADA <ada@mb.neweb.ne.jp> wrote: > Dear Scott, > > First we would like to thank your kind hospitality during > our visit to > Washington D.C. > We enjoyed meeting many planted aquarium hobbyists. > We introduce the event on AQUA JOURNAL.
