Well that sucks Roger. I know you must be frustrated but hang in there. I 
would still try to call your contact. Don't leave a vmail. When the person 
answers the phone thank them for their time and ask them for any feedback 
that may help you in the next interview. I would also ask them if they know 
of any other positions or companies that might be looking for someone with 
your skill set.

Best of luck!

Wally
