Steve--Sad to say, but I haven't seen Hal at a club meeting for about 
six months.  Hal had been club treasurer until that time.  Hal had 
started a newsletter called the Dwarf Cichlid Conspiracy that was sent 
to a small mailing list of people who were interested in dwarf ciclids.  
Pete Johnson took over the role of editor after a while and did an 
excellent job of it.  Both are excellent writers.  The newsletter got 
pretty popular (from my perspective) but due to lack of time (adult 
schedules etc.)--it kind of faded from the scene.  I know that many 
people misses it.  Pete Johnson is on this list also.
