I would also like to chime in on this. It was a long trip, and my dogs were really ready to go out when I got home, but it was all worth it...even without winning in the raffle. I had a great time, and was realy glad to meet all of you that I did.

I would like to thank Jim for the hospitality and for the informative presentation on his tank. The show tank was spectacular and the set up for grow out was equally impressive. I am really pleased with the clams that I bought. They are settling in terrifically.

I look forward to many other meetings in the future, and I hope that I can bet more of our MARSH members to come and attend.

Finally, I am looking forward to Jim coming to Houston to present to MARSH. The logistics have to be worked out, but we are shooting for the first weekend in June. I hope that some of the MAAST group will come to town for this and to meet some of our members in their natural habitat ;)
