I notice you are a member of GWAPA web forum.
I wondered if you could do something for me….
I produce a radio talk show about the aquarium plant hobby on blog talk radio. On the 29th of this month I have a very special guest on the show:
Claus Christensen, former CEO of Tropica Plants of Denmark. He will be on the show live, talking about his world travels to aquatic plant habitats and biotope information about these habitats. This is the first time he has ever been on any internet radio broadcast, and his first time on a live show taking questions from callers! It is quite an event.
Would you be willing to post an announcement of this on the GWAPA forum? I think many of the forum and club members would want to know about this.
