The talk he gave in Portland was a intro to So american cichlids talk, both dwarf and big guys which was awesome. The history of the hobby sounds great too, but then I would miss out on learning new stuff about So American Cichlids. Rather than have him do a little of everything I think we should have him do one topic in detail!! Wanted to put it up to the board.

Would like to see Lee Newman up in Vancouver, so would probably fly in on Monday, do the meeting Tuesday, fly up or drive back with Lee on Wednesady, then fly down on Friday. If Portland's meeting is before yours, then I could come up for that - also could fly in earlier anyway before your meeting if you wanted. Let me know I haven't yet booked flights but its probably easier for me to do it this end if that's OK. Thanks for the Geos I'd love them, or some of them. Let me know what you think. Also, what You'd like me to talk on - I do a killer history of the hobby talk these days, but could do a general SA cichlid or Geophagus or Pike talk if you wanted.
