Well, Henry is back from the cold North and I guess Dick is on his way home soon. I have to thank Henry for making the New Jersey harvest seem so real through his photos. And Dick for helping in the selection of "something special". And a special thanks to Mat McCann for creating her.

There is something special in seeing koi harvests in Japan and America in October. It gives substance to the ZNA notion of friendship through scales. And, we all join in admiring the art created by breeders' eyes and sweat and frozen fingers and dirty hands.

This is as special as the koi.
