Fwd: SRI's Dan Lynch dies
by Martin A. Flynn 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: SRI's Dan Lynch dies Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2024 19:19:02 +0000 (UTC) From: Jay R. Ashworth <jra(a)baylink.com> To: NANOG <nanog(a)nanog.org> Dan Lynch, one of the key people involved in building the Internet and ARPANET before it, has died. Dan was director of computing facilities at SRI International, where ARPANET node #2 was located and he worked on development of TCP/IP, and where the first packets were received from our site at UCLA node #1 to SRI, and later at USC-ISI led the team that made the transition from the original ARPANET NCP protocols to TCP/IP for the Internet. And much more. Peace. -L He was well written up across the web, but here's a 2021 piece for those who aren't as familiar with his background: https://www.internethalloffame.org/2021/04/19/dan-lynchs-love-brilliant-com… And his IHoF induction speech: http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/dan-lynch-ihof-2019-speech/ I would note his age here, as obits usually do, but it seems unusually difficult to learn. Happy landings, Mr Lynch. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. The front desk person gave me an email address originally, which I emailed this morning...but I haven't heard back. Are you saying you found a particular path to successful discounted booking? I just called again, and first reached reservations, who immediately transferred me to the front desk, saying they're the only ones who know about group booking discounts. The front person (may have been the same one as this morning, maybe not) then said he knew nothing about this, and I that had to email his manager. He then spelled out the same address as I'd been given this morning, except he read a digit as an O instead of a zero. Soooo....I re-sent my email to the O version. But it's Friday after 5pm, hard to guess where this is going to go, if anywhere... - Ken >On Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 11:25 AM Ken via vcf-midatlantic ><vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: >> >> Has anyone had luck with this?

Has anyone had luck with this? When I called the number, I reached the front desk, and the front desk guy didn't know anything about our discount, and directed me to email his manager for further instructions. I'm waiting to hear back to that email (not super optimistically), but I'm curious if others encountered this and actually reached success in some way!
