Many thanks for throwing some light on the the possible identity and contact details of the potter that Mr Maloney( his inquiry in comment 31 of this post.) was searching for. As I do not keep Mr Maloney’s email address, I have, by email today, requested the WordPress.com to forward your informatioin to him, a copy of which has been sent to your email address.

I hope your useful lead would solve Mr Maloney’s urgent effort to trace this potter.

Sorry. Further to what I said last night, I think the potter’s surname should be Peter Low not Lau. There’s a website easterntea.com that Mr Maloney could check to see if the potter’s details fit with what he remembers about him. If it’s the right potter, then Mr Maloney could get contact details too.

Just wondering if the Malaysian Chinese potter Mr Maloney was asking about in July 2010 could be Peter Lau.

I have visited Silicon Valley many times as a son of mine is an experienced IT professional and has his own software company there. I had seen how hard he and his partners had worked over the years to make their business a success.

Through my son, I had come to know other IT professionals and had gained further insight into the factors that have made Silicon Valley preeminent in the IT world.

As a matter of fact, what I have written is common knowledge to anyone with basic knowledge of the Valley.

I have no further information to offer you on this matter.
