Re: [AGA-sc] AGA Convention

Yes, I know. The ink isn't even dry on the contract. In fact, it isn't even wet yet -- not yet signed. But mere details like contracts shouldn't keep the stouthearted from trudging ever onward -- we can leave trail of breadcrumbs if we have to, right?

I wouldn't mind hearing Dr. M speak again, so long as it was him and not a stand in. And maybe it's sort of expected that he will, being right there and all. What about Greg speaks *at* SeaChem and it's part of the Field trip -- tour followed by talk or vice versa? We haven't done that before, have we?

We sort of promised ourselves last year we'd ask Fern Guy to come -- he apparently speaks English even gooder than me and reportedly gives good talks. And now that a fern is taking over my tanks, I'm all up for it. Yes, Karen that fern that hid dormant'y for so long has turned into the Fern that ate New Jersey. Downwind residents are advised to evacuate.

Maybe also having Christel would be shooting our wad of headliners all in one year?

Hey we could get Amano, Christel, Karen, Claus, Fern Guy, and few others and do a "Last Waltz" convention . . .one biggest baddest convention . . .hmmmm . . .

We haven't talked about filling out the speaker line up... Larry had just asked me to contact Amano & Tomoko. We'll have to work out the rest.

I'll be back in plenty of time for NEC... Thailand will be the second half of March.

Are we having Fern Guy? Are we having Christel?

Karen, does Thailand mean you will miss NEC?

Dear Karen

How are you doing? I hope you are doing well.

At this moment, Mr. Amano is on business trip ( He is in Yakushima that is

a world heritage to take photograph.)

He will come back to the office next week. I will confirm him and get back to you about this matter

next week.

Talk to you soon.

Best regards,

Dear Yoshinori,

Could you please extend to Mr. Amano an invitation to speak at our AGA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, in November of 2008. We are in the final stages of contract negotiations with the hotel, and the dates planned for the convention are November 13-16, 2008. We have so much enjoyed his participation in past AGA conventions, and our members are extremely interested in having the opportunity to learn even more from him. We would be honored if he would consider coming again!

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible!

Sincerely,

Karen Randall
