So, Eric - you still planning on coming? Matthew, you still going to pick him up?
I’m going to go tonight. Might even get a few of my students from GWCC (CIS126DL - Linux Operating System) to show up, we’ll see. So, that means that if Eric is there and needs a ride home, I can give it to him. (Still hoping someone from the west side is coming and can do the honors, but it’s not looking likely, so I stand ready to ‘stand in the gap’ as it were ☺) But I don’t remember what Eric looks like… It won’t help Eric, but I’m wearing a black polo (I think it’s a polo) shirt with a small rhinoceros emblem on the left, and black jean pants. I also will have a red and black anti-static heel strap on my left shoe, which is a silver-colored Brooks tennis-style shoe. Oh, and I wear glasses, fairly short (but almost certainly needing to be combed!) hair, no beard but needing shave ;-). Most people consider me tall. “Old but not decrepit” ;-) (I’m in my 60s IIRC ;-). Like I say, probably no help to Eric, but now everyone else should be able to find me ;-) Rusty From: PLUG-discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew Gibson Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2018 2:20 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: This month's meeting is special This one is thursday may 10th at 7pm, located in chandler at the desert breeze police substation. It would be a bit out of the way, but I am willing to make the trip, unless there is another willing to bring you.

I am out by avondale here. still, no one has mentioned the meeting location or time. the last one I attended was at the sequoia school and I am not even sure where that is. -eric On May 8, 2018, at 2:07 PM, Matthew Gibson wrote: I can possibly help with getting you there.

I will need to know where the nearest stop is. -eric On May 8, 2018, at 8:26 AM, Carruth, Rusty wrote: > Hey, Eric!
