Hello all, I am a little slow to respond, but I had the longest commute home from the conference. I think I covered 10K miles on this trip…
I would just like to echo, echo, echo all the previous comments. There were almost two full days of discussion and presentations. I was most impressed with the presentations by Horst Linke and Martin Hallmann. While both presentations were accomplished in German, a wonderful translation system was provided for us who are illiterate in German. While Helene and Peter talked into a microphone we heard the lecture in our headphones. It was a highlight of the weekend.
With the great generosity from Bernd I was able to return with to the U.S. with a number of species that have never been seen in this country. It was great to sit in this conference with participants from many countries, all with the common goals and interests – preservation and propagation of the Parosphromenus species. To all my newly found friends it was a pleasure to meet you and to share common interests. Now there is a whole new atmosphere talking with you after we have met face to face.
