| ï Well, I don't know what's taking over your tank, 
but I beleive it's "moss guy" that we were thinking of inviting. ;-)  And 
he may talk gooder than you, but I doubt he's as funny.   I also suspect that we can't afford more than two 
"big" (as in expensive) speakers.  So we have to choose between Claus, 
Christel, Moss Guy or any other out-of-N.A. speakers.  Though I want to 
throw a little chum on the waters and see what we haul in if I offer to take the 
European folks out collecting for a few days before or after the vacation if 
they want to come on their own dime.  If any bite, we could have a really 
cool line-up.   As far as Seachem is concerned, I agree with you, 
that having Greg do a talk AT Seachem could be really neat, as long as they have 
the space for it.  If not, I think we really have to invite him to speak at 
the convention itself.  I also agree I'd rather have him personally, but if 
not I still think we need to extend the invitation.  We should also 
probably move this all over to Con-heads for discussion, but I can't 
find it in my address book!   Karen

  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 . . .        sh

   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.   Karen

 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,

Convention 
 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 Aquatic Gardeners 
      Association
