VIII International Aroid Conference

From: "Dr. Tom Croat" tcroat at LEHMANN.MOBOT.ORG> on 1999.08.23 at 01:40:36(3592) Dear Aroiders: I want to thank all of you who attended the VIII International Aroid Conference recently in St. Louis both for your willingness to come from such long distances but also for your excellent participation in the discussions, poster viewings, etc. This was clearly the most successful Aroid Conference ever held with the vast majority of the world's Aroiders in attendance. I was very pleased with the large attendance and I hope that all of you found it a profitable experience. I only regret that I was not able to spend more time with each of you. It was a profound experience for me with barely a 30 second interval free to think. I found myself getting up in the middle of the night to work on my presentations because I also had a house full of guests which took up most of my normal waking hours. I know that many of you took pictures during the conference and I am hopeful that you might be willing share your pictures with me. I normally take a lot of slides to document these conferences and have simply because of my longevity and because I like to take picures become an unofficial arquivist for the IAS and for the conferences. So it was especially painful for me to be unable to spend more time taking pictures during my own conference. I will gladly pay for copying and mailing of any pictures that you would be willing to forward to me and I thank you very kindly for any halp that you can lend. Tom
