Hi Donald,
Thank you very much for responding.
I am 100% certain that your intern is working, sweating and learning a
lot...a tremendous amount of information and experience is available from
you guys.
But, I'm talking about those of us who would love to visit your facility and
learn also. But......we aren't available in the summertime.
I, ABSOLUTELY, will not pursue this anymore. I feel as if I am starting to
"step on toes" & I don't want to do this. I thought it would be a "win-win"
situation.
Paula told me that she didn't think that Dr. J.had time for a winter course
and even if he had, maybe it would be better if he presented it himself.
(Not some dumbo like me....my words....not hers.)
I was just trying to present something that might work.
Later.....and thanks again for responding.........Steve

Dear Steve:
Our summertime short course includes a half day (morning) in a classroom
and a half day (afternoon) in the field. If you got on a plane down
here next week you could be an intern for as long as you like. There
would be no formal classroom time and you would sweat a little more but
you would be harvesting fish and vegetables, feeding 3x a day, grading
and sorting the juveniles, installing liners in our new hydroponic
tanks, laying blocks for our new 55,000 gallon greenwater tank AND you
would have a 5:1 teacher/student ratio to tell you all the details, good
and bad, of our systems.
I have one intern here right now who is, today, sorting red tilapia
brood fish and collecting eggs and fry. She is soaking wet. She will
sort the males from females and haul them back to their separate tanks.
She will enumerate the fry. She will clean the eggs and get a hatching
jar running. And that is just her morning work. In the afternoon she
is transplanting cucumber, pak choi, collards and basil.
There is plenty to do so come on down.

Steve - For what's it's worth I agree with you completely.
I too would LOVE to do that UVI course . . .
I too have other priorities in the summer.
Yes UVI would be a fabulous place to go . . . in the winter . . .
pero, lo siento mucho . . .
Donald just doesn't get it.
Jay

>From another and TOTALLY unrelated to Aquaponics list on
USENET:
"Was getting the Hahaha e-mail constantly for a while about
two months ago.
Got Norton's (Symantec) Virus check and so forth. Ever since
then things
have been quiet. Now all of a sudden in the past 3 days,
have gotten the
e-mail 2 timesagain. Went to tools and Mail rules and set it
up to delete
"Snow White". Problem is just got it again not five minutes
ago but this
time as "Snowhite"."
So as one can plainly see it ain't the Aquaponics group
doing it. It's a socially concerned gnome(s) slaving away
somewhere "trying to make a difference".
Probably,
