[svlug] Alan Shalloway - talks in California, March & April

[Darlene Wallach]

Ian,

Please accept my apologies. Noone told me to contact you. I knew
you worked for Cisco Systems and thought you might know the name
of the contact person. I am very sorry for giving you the
impression someone told me to contact you - it is all on me. I
also apologize for being another person making this kind of
request of you.
