Eric Borneman

O.K. I just left our reef club meeting. Our guest speaker was Eric Borneman (author and reef authority)... this guy put on one heck of a display of just how realistic and knowledgable he is. It was simply amazing!!! I have invited him and even kinda urged him(as coyly as possible) to visit us here and even possibly share his articles as we now do with Anthony Calfo. I must admit that I am simply honored to have met Eric... koodos to his teaching methods and a very well spoken informative dispay. I hope to see him take us up on our invite and make CR as much a home as time allows. Thank Eric!!!

He is a great speaker , and seemed to be a real nice guy. Last night was a great meeting. The last few months have been great with great guest speakers.

hey is it possible for someone who is not a member to come to these meetings. I would make the trip in a heartbeat to see someone like that. If that would be possible and if you guys would let me know I would love to come down and sit in. Thank I appreciate it.

Jason, thank you for updating us on the meeting you went to with Eric Borneman as the speaker. What an opportunity for you! Not to mention all the visuals provided at the meeting. That would be utterly awesome. You have had him at your meeting once before, am I correct? You lucky 'ol Sea Dog you!! hehehe! I think I should move to UTAH! :p I would love to get the opportunity to listen to someone like that as well. Unfortunately, we aren't in a position financially just to pick up and fly wherever. Bummer huh? I expect many of our members may be in like situations, but it doesn't keep us from reefing! Thank you very much Jason for extending a personally delivered invitation from CR to join us here. Wouldn't it be fantastic to add him to our current expert Mr. Calfo?

Greg, you never mentioned talking to him with me. Thank you also for taking the bull by the horns! Let's hope he takes these two invites to heart and knows just how welcome he would be here at Captive Reefing!

I can't say how proud we are of our Moderator's for Captive Reefing!! You guys do such a great job, and I don't know what we'd do without you!

Greg, if you can make it down next weekend ... he will be here giving a propagation seminar to our local club !! you can crash at my place if you can make it. the price of admission is only $30 for non club members !! that will include admission, lunch, a 1 yr. membership to the club, AND probably a butt load of FREE frags !!
Eric is actually taking a frag of my Elephant skin coral (while showing me how to properly frag it) for his main display tank !! i am soooo proud of that fact !! can ya tell ??

i will give another subtle hint to this place next weekend.

well the cat is out of the bag. I wanted that to be a suprise too if I could swing it like Anthony was!!!!! SUPRISE!!!!!!! I am sure collectively we can sweet talk him to at least taking a peek at our corner of the web :D
