Re: [GSAS-board] Possible speakers

I would be beside myself to have a shrimp person come.  I also think that
there is a significantly growing interest in shrimp in our club that
parallels what is going on internationally.  Just seeing how giddy people
get when cherries are auctioned off is a good sign to me.  Then you have
several of us who are making a go of raising specialty shrimp.  I think the
shrimp guy would be well received and add a lot to the inertia of the club.

I have not developed a passion for Crypts yet so I understand that others
would be more stoked about that than I.

There also seems to be a growing interest in aquatic mosses and would
suggest that as a possibility as well.
