[Larry Robison]

Karen,

I found some old MARS newsletters in a filing cabinet. I'll give them to Brian next chance (can't make a meeting 'till June).

 

[KarenLM]

Wow its been awhile since we had a news letter. Very cool.

 

[RasBobre]

Hey Karen, was that an offer to lead a committee to create a newsletter? You'd be great at it! I bet our members would love to see an electronic newsletter every quarter or so!

 

[KarenLM]

I have though about it so I will continue to think. I have a program on my MAC that does newletters. I will play around with it and let you know.

 

[KarenLM]

I think we called our newsletter the Surge Zone. Does that sound correct?

 

[MandM]

From my files/notes on the old MARS website, Nov 2006, we had Adelaide Rhodes talk about marine copepods. Sanjay was not able to make it.
January was Steven Pro discussing fish in the hobby.

10/2004 Anthony Calfo Anthony did a coral fragging workshop and also attended our frag swap the next day and spoke again.

Yes it was!

Thanks for putting this together, it is neat matching up certain memories with months/years...

Does anyone here still talk to Arlan and Rian Martin? Haven't seen/heard from them in ages!

I still have 4 or 5 of their Bangaii's in a couple of tanks. Wish they were still into breeding. I'd love to have a captive bred source near by.

 

[tfp]

matt, last i'd heard was they were starting a family . that was awhile back - they are a nice couple that i miss seeing around.

 

[kevin95695]

Can anyone bring this list current?

 

[Diamond Jack]

Man great list of speakers. Really cool.
