I am very fortunate to have won a dinner (http://thereeftank.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72387) with Dr Bruce Carlson (http://www.saltwateru.com/speakers/carlson.php), Vice President of Life Sciences for the GA Aquarium, and Walt Smith (http://www.saltwateru.com/speakers/smith.php), owner of Walt Smith International.

If you were in my shoes, what kind of intriguing questions would you ask? :confused:

Refering to SPS as sticks and cups isn't gonna get me very far!! :rolleyes: Help me sound a little bit educated!!!

TIA

yeah its crazy- I am very lucky with the ARC raffle stuff... and I only bought one $10 raffle too!

I bought lots of $1 and $5 raffles for SWU. Might have to get a few more $10 raffles also :)

Oh no! Am I going to have to censor this thread now!? :-)

Gwen - congrats on your first star! I just now noticed! :-)

Scott

Oh no! Am I going to have to censor this thread now!? :-)


LOL...I hope it doesn't get any closer than it has! :rolleyes:

Notice how Gwen hasn't mentioned if she has her notepad is full of questions.....would actually be funny if she showed up with a new notebook full of questions. says "I just have a few quick questions".....and after the first one is answered "good, one down only 449 to go".... :p

I wonder does Bruce have an aquarium at home, and what size. I mean, working at the Georgia Aquarium...would it be a downer to go home to a "puddle"?

And if he dives in the aquarium at all...how much fun is that? :D

Scott

... I can be shy...

Really? LOL

If you can't think of anything...you can always break the ice with "can we go snorkeling in the whale shark tank?" just make sure to ask that question with "puppy dog eyes" :rolleyes:
