[wplug] [wplug-announce] Event at Hack Pittsburgh

[Dan Martin]

Hi Terry, et al,

You didn't mention Luc of Hack Pittsburgh.

Nick and I got there late, and Luc gave us the tour.

I asked  about his background because I was
curious about his accent.   Luc said  he has been
in Pittsburgh for many years,  is originally from
Switzerland, and is a retired physicist.

The physics went over my head--I guess because
of Luc's accent.    ;)

Luc is currently building a replica radio, and parts,
circa turn of the last century.

Definitely a worthwhile and interesting evening.
Will they be needing any help to test the still?

Thanks,
Dan Martin
