Re: [AGA-sc] Tsunami
Yes -- we definitely should make a donation. Since I am more involved in the
fish side of the hobby, and regularly bring in from all over the Far East, I
have many unbelievably terrible tales from Sri Lanka, Indonesia and
Malaysia. The worst was a marine wholesaler in Sri Lanka who said that he
had 20 divers/collectors working for him and they were all killed or
missing.
We who are so fortunate need to remember trhose who are not.

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?
