had a booth, and the American Cichlid Association put on a stupendous fish show with nearly a hundred entries! Of course I saw many old friends at this event. Rusty Wessel of the ACA was there to make sure that the cichlid show went off without a hitch. I’ll never know where he gets all that energy! My other good buddy, Gary Bagnall, the founder and owner of ZooMed, was in attendance, and his company had a tremendous display at this event. Another terrific 12
hobby-lover in attendance was Pat Donston, the owner of a great aquarium store, Absolutely Fish, in Clifton, New Jersey, as was another aquarium store owner and one of our clubʼs biggest supporters, John Ip, the owner of Monster Aquarium in Flushing. There were simply so many people there that I know I couldn’t list them all without making this article twenty pages long! Suffice it to say that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing each and every one of them at this event.
