Need some help with MACNA

[tstone]

Hi my name is Marvin Parramore. I am Co-chairman for MACNA 16 in Boston. I am trying without much luck to contact several people whom we would like to speak at MACNA this year.

Can the following people please stand up.

Rob Toonan
John Tullock
Joyce Wilkerson

Any help with contact info or getting them in touch with me would be greatly appreciated.

My email Address is
marvin(at)newenglandreef.com (please replace the word "at" with @, thanks)

Much thanks to you all.

From my understanding, John Tullock is out of the marine hobby and into orchids.

Hmmm interesting. Not something I had thought about. I did not know people leave or hobby.

Rob Toonen

Joyce Wilkerson

For Rob, do a search for biogeek on either RDO or RC, then send him a PM.

For Joyce, try contacting someone from the Breeder's Registry.

Regards.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Mike!

No problem... Or should I say "Walang anuman."

 

[tstone]

"Walang anuman."

OK now I'm stumped. Should I say "same to you"?

No, you should say "Salamat" only, I think...

Walang anuman (Tagalog) = Mondai nai (Japanese) = No problemo. (Californian dialect of English...)

Mike,

Japanese should be "do ita shi ma shi te", I think... (stupid language filter)

 

[tstone]

Mike

Salamat

LOL. Yes, that *could* be translated as 'No problem', but it would better be translated as "Don't mention it". Don't even ask what it would be literally translated as it doesn't even make sense in English.

And thinking a bit more, my original translation was too rough.
Better to use: Mondai de wa arimasen, or It is not a problem...

Enough of the Tagalog/Japanese lesson for today, I think.
Regards.

Sorry, thats spanglish, not Californian, and no, we don't eat pink tofu either. You can acredit us with, "dude", "awesome", "Apple Computer", "Hewitt Packard", "the Greatful Dead", "the Doors", "Jimmy Hendrix", "Scott Peterson" and making a mockery of state government.

PS. anyone want tickets for the Scott Peterson trial, it's only a few blocks away.

Rob Toonen has moved to Hawaii - so factor that into your travel budget. If you can't reach him through reefs.org you can do a search at the University of Hawaii website.

Can't help you with the other two.

Good luck!

James I found Rob Toonan. I am waiting for a reply from him. I think I found Joyce Wilkerson and John Tullock is retired.

Thanks
