Feel free to edit the sketch as you see fit. A title for my talk could be something like "Hidden treasures of Mexico: the little-known diversity and uncertain future of Mexican livebearers" I'm not sure of my exact travel schedule yet. My wife may accompany me, and we may take a few days before or after the 14th for a little vacation (our 1st wedding anniverary is March 19), but we have to work out some logistics with our kids first. I should know by next week. If she comes along I may just get a hotel and rent a car (out of my pocket) for the time I'm there. Where in the Seattle area is your meeting held? I looked into airfares and it will cost around $450-500 for me from Madison to Seattle. A dinner before the talk would be great. I like any and all kinds of foods, so pick one of your favorite restaurants. Seafood is always a treat for those of us who live 1000 miles from the ocean. I don't have any other presentations put together, but if you'd like I could pull together a second one on the fishes of the jungle rivers in southern Mexico, which would focus mainly on Cichlids. This would be more of a travelogue than the livebearer one. Let me know if this would be of interest.

Tuesday March 14 is the day, and there is a projector and computer in the room where we meet so you won't have to bring yours. As to length of the presentation, about an hour would be just fine. Usually followed by an informal Q&A session. Once your flight schedule is arranged, let me know and we will make local transportation arrangements and figure out your accommodations for the night of the 14th. We like to take our guest speakers out to dinner at one of our fine local restaurants before the meeting unless their schedule dictates otherwise. Any special food preferences? You mentioned that you do other presentations in addition to the Mexican livebearer one. What other topics do you cover? We try to publish an article about our next speaker in the GSAS newsletter whenever possible. Do you have anything in the way of a short biography and/or picture that we could use? Thanks John. Talk to you soon. Bob At 04:35 PM 2/1/2006 -0600, you wrote: >Bob, > >Yes, I've got it on my calender and was getting ready to contact you >regarding details.
