Re: Question from a new guy

[Greg & Kathleen Simpson <gksimps at wtp_net>]

Hi Richard,

As you have already sen from the list, your best avenue is to join the AKA 
and receibe your monthly Business Newsletter (BNL) and Journal of American 
Killifish Association (JAKA) with Killie Notes.  Trust me, joining will 
give you great benefits and a wealth of help and assistance.

As you have already read from feedback from other members, there is a large 
group of killi keepers in the Florida area.  If you would like to ask 
question, please do not to hesitate to contact me or Catherine Carney... we 
are both co-chairs of the beginners committee.  I am the coordinator for 
the Western Region and Catherine is coordinator for the Eastern 
Region...  Catherine's email is:  schmidtcarney at ecr_net.

Greg A. Simpson
Billings, Montana
Co-Chair, Beginners Committee
Western Region
