RE: [Killietalk] John in Huntsville

["Hladky, John" <John_Hladky at tdytsi.com>]

Sorry!
Confusion is the natural state of my mind.  And I am apparently rubbing off!
For the second time this week I have lead people astray with my place names.

Hollywood California instead of Hollywood Hills Florida
now it's Huntsville Texas instead of Huntsville Alabama, where I live.
(Rocket town instead of prison rodeo town.  Which by the way is way cool.
The rodeo, in H'ville Texas!)
My wife is a Houston girl, my in-laws still live there.  
I would still like to know if there are any killifish keepers in Chandler,
where I will be next week.  That is Chandler Arizona, not Chandler Ohio, or
Chandler...
John in Huntsville, Alabama ;-)

John,
Noticed that you live close to Houston(close by Texican standards). The TAKO
club will be having a show and auction soon so keep you eye open. Our show
location will be easy to find for out of town member and we will make some
announcements prior to the show.
