A blast from the (BRS) past

[JMAC]

I was going through old pics on my computer and found a few from the earlier days of the BRS.

A frag swap in the parking lot at the Seekonk meeting at the Coral Reef Aquarium store. (When frag swaps were small enough to be shot with one picture! lol) Left to right..Chuck Smith, myself, jimmyj7090, jake, and Mike Roby (Aqua Addict).

And a couple others including me anxiously awaiting the bagging of my orange cap frag at the second of Greg's home coral fragging tutorials. That coral has made the rounds! Excellent food too that night btw.

Enjoy,
Joe

I still have a finger leather coral I got from you that day. (I think it was that meeting anyway)

Was that Greg's second fragging workshop? I think so. Maybe the third.

"I still have a finger leather coral I got from you that day. (I think it was that meeting anyway)"

And I still have the purple gorgonian I got from you. That finger leather colony is massive now, like 1/4th of my 120.

I was looking for something else, and stumbled upon this, figured it was worth a bump...

Nice bump dave. Any idea on the date of that meeting?

 

[JohnK]

IIRC it was spring 2002 at CRA.

April to be exact;

Thats funny, you guys were lucky you didnt get arrested. Grown men selling/swapping things in baggies in parking lot????????

The old meetings where guys met and swapped Kalk in baggies were even MORE shady looking
