A member from the GSAS fowared this to me.  After reading some of it I though I would share:

No tanks or fish just good friends and allot of fun...

Thank you Aron!  I love reading old books, as there are often lost gems of knowledge to be found...

Interesting reading. The tanks and stands were truly things of beauty back then.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

I know a guy who was repopping the seahorse tanks and selling them for $3500 each. Just like that one. Bronze and all. That may be one with the stones like that, his had a solid slate bottom.
I have 100 fish tanks, but two pairs of shoes. The latter is proof that I am still relatively sane. The question is...relative to what?
