NEW DIRECTOR ON CI BOARD

John Connole resigned earlier this year as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Cryonics Institute, for personal reasons. We thank him again for his
years of valuable service and conscientious work. He remains a CI member.

At the annual meeting on Sep. 27, the vacancy was filled. Elected was Michael
H. Hart, J.D., Ph.D., a long-time CI member.

Professor Hart started his studies in mathematics, switched to law, earned the
J.D., practiced law for a while, decided he liked science better, and earned a
Ph.D. in astronomy. He taught astronomy and history of science at the college
level for many years before retiring. 

In the Seventies Prof. Hart wrote a well-received book, THE 100, a ranking and
discussion of the 100 most influential people in history. An updated edition
was published a few years ago. Currently he has another writing project, on
which we may report later.
