Roger's health may not lend itself to doing it every month, but that's a 
powerful argument for getting it going. We could get Bob Goldstein, Phil 
Pister, Stan Weitzman, Peter Unmack, Paul Loiselle, Bob Collier, Bruce 
Turner, Neil Foster, and a lot of other academics with killifish interests 
to do guest columns to be used in the months that Roger doesn't have one.

Great idea, Wright! Occasional updates of the SM committee reports in teh BNL might not hurt, either. We're trying to keep at least a few of the species from going extinct by maintaining them long term in individual aquarists' tanks. Perhaps the more aware people are of our efforts, the more willing they will be to step forward and say "hey, we've got those fish! Count me in!"

Just another two bits' worth -
