[GSAS-board] FW: speaking for GSAS?

["Rick Rose" <rick-rose@comcast.net>]

Board Members...

Please read James' reply just below.  If you still want him as a speaker,
then I'd suggest that you contact him and explain that we do sometimes have
saltwater/reef topics and that we can change our meeting date to accommodate
a shared-speaker as needed.  There's plenty of info on the internet on
James.  I believe he comes from Tampa.  It might be a jump-start to the new
club-year to have an out-of-town speaker of his caliber.  Shared expenses
with PSAS would also be a plus.

I would like to ask that the new President contact James (or else, let me
know your decision and I'll contact him) I just don't want to leave him
"hangin'."

Thanks,
Rick
GSAS President, Retired

Hey Rick - i just figured it out. I'm speaking for the
Puget Sound Aquarium Soc.  Sorry about the confusion.
Unfortunately, I really only talk about reef
aquariums, so I doubt I'd be of much use to your club
anyway. I also can't be anywhere but at work on
Tuesdays anyway. Oh well...

Take it easy,

James
