Re: [GSAS-Member] Cichlid strain IDs

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Nobody from GPAS appears to be on our list anymore -- and they apparently 
only communicate via their website and facebook now -- no newsletter, no 
exchange.  So unless someone on our side checks their website regularly 
(or does the facebook thing), we never know who's speaking there.

I'm sure Kathy will not let Wayne make it to Portland without adding 
Seattle (and probably Vancouver) to the tour.  We go back a bit (not as 
far as Matt, but 14 we've been friends for 13 years or so).
