[olug] Need a speaker for June 4th.

[Dave Thacker]

Phil, this sounds like a great change of pace.  I will put you in for June
4rd.  The meeting starts at 6:30pm CDT.    We usually have the google meet
started about 10-15 minutes before the meeting starts.
Thank you for volunteering.   I hope I can join in from Arizona!   I'll
verify the link for Google Meet and send it to you this week.

Cheers!
Dave Thacker
