Hi Kathy,

>or May, but take whatever is most convenient for you).

I think May would be better. March may be a little busy with moving and all. 
Besides, I could be the warm-up act for the real show in June - Wayne's still
comming, right?

>an African conservation talk (did I hear African right), and others
>include one on the Vancouver Aquarium.

The talks I can give are:

Peruvian Adventures with 'Arboreal' Fishes and Alluvial Deposits (or, 
collecting 
in the flood and dry seasons)

An Aquarist Expedition to the Rio Negro

Demonfish, South American Cichlids of the Genus Satanoperca

Cichlid Conservation in Uganda

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre, Canada's Pacific National 
Aquarium 

While I'd be happy to give any of those, my favourite talk is 
on Satanoperca - I include some collecting stuff in that talk as well. 
But, I'd rather give the talk that most suits, and interests, the membership.

If it happens in May, the chances of Lisa comming as well are better. I'd like 
to
have her along as well.

Kathy, I very much appreciate being asked to speak for you guys. Just
let me know what program you'd like me to give.

Talk to you soon.
