Such terribly sad news -- and it keeps getting worse each
day.
I think it might be appropriate too.
However, it might be touchy terms of pereceptions if we
make donations for some cases and causes and not others --
there are so many diff things to which one can donate and
even more opinions on which are the most deserving. Then
again, I guess we don't have to advertise a donation from
AGA.
Irrespective of an AGA donation, I think it would be good
to post the info on the various plant lists and forums and
suggest donations be made to. . .

Well, what I had feared has come to be. There are at
least a few of our
planted tank community toched by the Tsunami. I was just
contacted by Steen
Jansen. (Erik, you'll remember him as the guy with the
REALLY big out-door
tank with algae problems) He is OK, because even though
they live right on
the shore, they are high enough up a hillside that the
water didn't reach
them.
However Holger Windelov was there yesterday. His brother
died in the
disaster, and his brother's wife and daughter were badly
injured. He was
there to arrange his brother's cremation and to bring his
sister-in-law and
niece back to Denmark. I have asked Steen for news of
Ole Pedersen. I've
been concerned about him because I knew he has been
working with sea
grasses, so I knew he was right on the coast. My hope is
that he was NOT
working on Christmas, and was far enough from the water
to be safe. So far
I haven't heard back about him, though.
I was thinking that it might be appropriate for AGA to
make a donation
toward the Tsunami relief effort in memory of Holger's
brother. What do you
think?
