VIII International Aroid Conference

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
