A note of thanks and an announcement re "PAA"  06/04/09
Crew/friends, a thank you for your work in my absence... has taken much time to place all the outstanding (in both senses) FAQs from the last couple weeks or so... Very enlivening, informational... I do thank you all.
And a note re a new effort... actually, more accurately a culmination/synthesis of input from many years and more... a conference (initially) bringing together the hobby, trade and sciences of ornamental aquatics... the Professional Aquatics Association... discussed with Rob Bray and ongoing... with credit to many others... Dr. Bob Rofen (formerly of Kordon/Novalek and more), Sue Busch (of Backer corp. and more)... a show
date to be determined, much work to be done to continue our legacy here of inspiring, informing, sharing what is known in our related fields... for all's benefit.

The conference idea sounds great Bob, as long as you promise not to pick on the scientists :).
<Heeeee! As you likely know, I am indeed an "equal opportunity picker-on-er">
Keep me posted, I'd like to help. Especially now that I am officially an "academic" as well as "industrial" (though not hobby industry) it is glaringly clear that everyone could benefit from more cross-talk.
<Great Christine! I do so very much look forward to the participation, involvement of all. BobF>

<Ahh! Will look forward to chatting, visiting with you there. Am pretty sure ScottV, SaraM, ScottF, MichL and other WWM Crew will be in attendance as well. BobF>
