Dear Esther, KI4LJD,
Well, it was rough making contact but everything worked out in the long run. We had a full program going into the meeting-seminar but, hopefully as you saw, we value your efforts, we want you to succeed, we are willing to help, and we hope to see more youth get involved. So therefore we "made" room for your very fine presentation.
No problem!
Again, please join at lease one of the AMSAT mail lists (see http://amsat.org/mailman/listinfo/) or have someone on your team at school do that to use us as part of your new, growing "network."
It was a delight to have you and Nastia visit.
Most of those in attendance, and more, are on the [email protected] mail list. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Pat Kilroy, N8PK AMSAT/NASA/ARRL/more

Dear Mr. Kilroy and Mr. Scholtz,
I just checked the old emails and I am very sorry about not replying to your emails, it was totally my fault and irresponsibility. Sorry about all the inconveniences I've caused.
Thank you very very much for still letting Nastia and me talk yesterday. Ironically I organized a conference that was held a couple of weeks ago and again there was a speaker who failed to answer my emails. So in the end I dropped his presentation. But yesterday you were very kind for giving us a slot to speak. We thank you for that great opportunity because the talk led to donations of antennas and rotors to our school satellite project.
I will learn from this and will answer all the emails in the future. I hope the rest yesterday's meeting went more smoothly.
Sincerely, Esther
