Re: [GSAS-Member] Great Meeting

I agree!  There were some cichlid fans I had never seen at meetings before.  
Folks were geeked and pumped to hear Jen and see those awesome photos.  Some in 
attendance were quoting my words from the Speaker Announcement back to me with 
glee regarding Ad Konings.  Sounds like a very good time for me to get turned 
on to Cichlids.
