Re: [GSAS-Member] Fish Club Picnic and Koi growing contest

["Clifford Miller" <clifford@clevergeek.com>]

Glad to hear you're starting the koi contest again, Steev. I thought last
year's KGOC was a lot of fun, and was really surprised at how many
different colors turned out of the batches I raised.

I want to go for the win this year, could Eric and Kathy let us know where
they buy their koi growth hormone online?  =)  Those things were huge!

On a side note, Liz and I will be attending the picnic (although I don't
think I've made a meeting in six months), and with Steev's consent would
be glad to pick up some extras for distribution to folks unable to attend
the picnic.  We're in Shoreline, and I drive around quite a bit for work,
so I could probably deliver.
