some days are great days!

[helene schoubye]

Hi John, – great to hear that, – I am sure you made a great presentation – and fantastic that you met Alan Brown and his wife, – I have never met them, – but I know Peter will be very happy to hear that.

[Peter Finke]

Yes, Helene is right, I am very happy about that encounter. I have met the couple for several times, and always Allan had many fish (Parosphromenus of course, different species) readily packed in his luggage.Some species I got for the first time from him, e.g. deissneri or spec. Kota Tinggi, excellent fish, in best health condition, and rather easy to breed for a non-beginner. But nevertheless Allan stayed to remain nearly the only source for them, until … he decided to stop aquaristics and give everything away from one day to the next. Before we had often contact via eMail, after that the couple fell in silence.
Therefore I am very happy to read that you met both of them.
I hope we meet in Hamburg again?

I am planning to meet you all again this Autumn, and i am very much looking forward to it.
Besides Alan, David Armitage also sends best wishes to you Peter….And i know he picked up a group of P. Quindecim i brought along to the auction.
It would be amazing if we could persuade them to come to Hamburg too.

[Peter Finke]

First, that you will come to our Hamburg II is very good news, indeed.
Second, I am very happy about David’s greetings, and his luck in taking those P. quindecim over from you.
But third, that would be the best of all: managing to persuade the Browns and David to accompagny you to Hamburg! Indeed, all people meeting there would be very happy to see them.
What do you think: Should/could we do something to realize that aim?
