Some of you will remember Paula from a few years back. Here is a report 
from friends who have just seen her:

We just spent a couple of hours with the Permaculture Group folks at Paula 
Speraneo's aquaponic farm south of West Plains. I mentioned we had met her 
and Tom at your place a few years ago at a dinner party for which they 
provided the main course; she remembered it.

I guess you knew that Tom died last year, and Paula kind of backed off on 
doing the aquaponics for awhile. She's just recently started it back up 
again on her own. Don't know if you ever actually went over there when Tom 
was alive; it must have been quite something to see. Even now, with just 
two tanks of fish and fewer sets of beds, it's pretty interesting...and 
dream of emulating on a small scale. She gave everyone copies of several 
magazine articles that had been written about it...including three of Vern 
Modeland's (he seemed to repeat the same things each time, several years 
apart).
Her website, in case you're interested, is www.townsqr.com/snsaqua
