Randy is a really good speaker, especially if you consider that he has only
been doing this for other clubs since March of 1999. His first major talk
was last year at the NEC. He really is good. BTW if you can't get down to
Tampa to hear him you can always drive to St. Louis on Thursday, February
17th to hear him at the Missouri Aquarium Society Meeting. If anyone is
close by and would like to attend please give me a blip offline and I'll
send directions. If you enjoy great speakers we'll also be hosting Rosario
LaCorte and Al Castro at our spring show May 5th thru 7th. If there are any
NEC people on the list, see you there March 17th-19th. Looks like one of
the best lineups I've seen in a long time. Hartford CT will certainly be
the place to talk fish.
