[Killietalk] An AKA Member in a Tough Spot

["Steve Sump" <spoggy at comcast_net>]

Fellow Listers,

I've added some email correspondence that I have had with one of the members of the AKA.  His name is Mark Berger and he is deployed on the aircraft carrier Kennedy.  He is obviously very far from home and misses his fishroom.

Mark is able to receive email, but does not have access to the Internet.  His AKA publications are not able to be sent to him in a timely manner.  I don't have any pictures of Blue Gularis as he has requested.  If there is anyone that has pictures of killies that you would be willing to email to Mark, especially Blue Gularis, please send them to me and I will forward them to him.

Thanks a lot to the list members for helping to support an AKA member!

  Mark,

  Thank you so very much for the job you are doing for us here at home.

  If you want to mail me a check, send it for $26.00 and make it out to American Killifish Assoc. Inc..  You need to send me your address EXACTLY how I have to print it on the BNL and JAKA so that it will get to you.  Send all that to the following address:

  AKA Member Services
  10518 Briarwood Court
  Elyria, OH 44035-8401
  USA

  If you can get it to me, I'll get it to you.

  Thanks a lot and may God keep you and the rest of your shipmates safe.

  Steve
