Peter, if you have difficulty changing your title, just email Caitlin. Instructions in the thread linked above.

Back to the Cooks (the past few posts re titles read like a Woody Allen movie script)!

Information from the Cooks regarding albino species is inconclusive, but I am reminded that there is amazing variety within the P. Margaritifera species, including Margaritifera with white mantle tissue.

Peter,

I think the person who changed your title was paying you a compliment. Here is what my dictionary has:

"impresario
noun
a theatrical impresario ORGANIZER, (stage) manager, producer; promoter, publicist, showman; director, conductor, maestro."

I hope I misunderstood your comment quoted above, because if you're "not exactly sure of the meaning", I don't understand why you would automatically assume it's negative and make accusations when on the surface it looks like someone was trying to be nice.

No my "peeps" were making fun of me. I really take no offense but just got use to the last title.


Back to the Cooks have not been back this year because Air New Zealand dropped the Raro Tahiti flight and Air Tahiti only goes once a week it a problem.

We'll definitely miss purchasing our annual Gaugin calendar at Papeete International as we fly LAX-Avarua nonstop.

Hi Peter
Impresario really means BOSS as well as chief organizer(same thing) in a production.
I changed it because you did not like "junior member".
Impresario is a really impressive title.
I will change it to any thing you want
