Actually, he's not registering in the .US TLD.  The wilton.ct.us domain is
already delegated to ns1.norwalk.com and ns5.norwalk.com, so he needs to
register with the wilton.ct.us registrar.  According to whois.isi.edu, the
contacts are:

   Administrative Contact:
      Wilhelm, Charles  (CW552-US)  cw at norwalk.com
     2038570777

   Technical Contact:
      Welch, Jim  (JW1130-US)  welchj at RPI.EDU
     (203) 857-0773

And the SOA record says that the hostmaster is jw at research.troy.ny.us.
