Julie, The vote went toward changing the two talks. Erik talked to the folks in Vancouver and there are a number of them willing to come to Seattle, so, if Portland is agreeable, we would like to swap the meeting topics between Seattle and Portland. Here is what Erik wrote and the reply he got back: Here is Lee's response about changing the talk topics. Sounds like he has been on vacation since Thursday... Kathy, can you and Julie take care of the change if possible now? - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 08:51:24 -0700 From: Lee Newman <Lee_Newman@telus.net> To: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> Subject: Re: Ad Konings Talk Hi Erik, Thanks! At the very least, Jen (the Aquarium's tropical freshwater aquarist), myself and Lisa will be coming down for it. However, I suspect that there may be at least one more - Mark, a tropical aquarist as well. We really appreciate the willingness to make a change in the plans.
