So much for Tom and his sure thing.
Backup plans, anyone?

Subject: Re: AGA 2006 Convention Speaker
Erik,
Wow, what a way to make a person feel honoured and proud. The people in
the AGA and SFBAPS have been my guide in setting up planted aquaria and
have
helped in ways they could never know.
I left the public Aquarium a few years ago and have been struggling
setting
up a small aquatic plant business in the real world for a while now.
Unfortunately it is at a stage where I can only get away for short time,
one
or two days at most. Thanks for the very kind offer however I must say
no.
My wife Robyn and I plan to take a trip to the US in a few years time and
I
hope to visit to the public aquaria over there at Monterey Bay and
Baltimore. I want to visit the Australian exhibit at Baltimore as I
helped
John Seyjagat the Curator access Australian fish, reptiles and plants for
the exhibit.
The future trip will coincide with the Aquatic Gardeners Association
Convention where ever it is at that time.
Once again thanks for the invitation and generous offer.
Cheers
Dave

Hello Dave,
The AGA and San Francisco Bay Area Aquatic Plant Society have been
working
for a while to organize the 2006 convention this November, and as of
today
we've finally secured a hotel and date. Your name was actually at the
top
of the list by the SFBAAPS folks, and I concur. But I wanted to wait
until that point before formally inviting you to speak there.
I can give some details right now if that helps: It will be held the
weekend of November 11th, talks will be on Saturday, and there may be a
field trip on Friday. If you have a second presentation (especially if
it's a lighter or shorter one), we would love to have you be our banquet
speaker as well. There are four other speakers, but as the "guest
speaker", the convention will pay your airfare, hotel and banquet.
Would you be interested? Any questions I could answer?
Regards,
- Erik
AGA President and unofficial speaker wrangler
