X-Message-Number: 1324 Date: 24 Oct 92 03:10:53 EDT From: STEPHEN BRIDGE <> Subject: Alcor Indiana News #6 >From Steve Bridge October 24, 1992 ALCOR INDIANA NEWSLETTER #6 NOW AVAILABLE! Due to the protests against long newsletters being placed on Cryonet, and since several networkers also get this publication in hard copy, the 42K of Alcor Indiana Newsletter #6 is available as a separate message from Kevin. He will append retrieval instructions on this message. Highlights of this issue include Part IV of my cryonics history, "Fifteen Years in Cryonics." (Okay, when it becomes a book, I'll come up with a better title.) This chapter is about 1979, when we (i.e., The Institute for Advanced Biological Studies (IABS) in Indianapolis) began public talks, developed suspension arrangements, confronted neurosuspension, and got our first outside members. Unfortunately, two of our first new members were drugged-out wackos named Chuck and Chuck. Fortunately, we survived them and the result is a very funny true story about cryonics confronting the REALLY weird part of the human race. Richard Shock and I write about our experiences at the World Science Fiction Convention in Orlando, and I talk about my election to the Alcor Board of Directors. There are the usual Alcor Indiana meeting notes from August and September. And there is a report on our recent acquisition of a Michigan Instruments High-Impulse Heart-Lung Resuscitator. AIN is aimed at more beginning cryonics readers than CRYONICS Magazine. We hope over the years to provide many articles which appeal to those who know little about cryonics history and technology. Part of this task is to keep all issues available on-line so new readers can go back and start from the beginning. Perhaps we will eventually edit these back issues in order to keep only material of timeless nature. To retrieve earlier issues, ask Kevin for the following message numbers: (To do this, send Kevin a message with no text, but with a subject heading in the form -- CRYOMSG XXXX, XXXX, XXXX -- where the x's represent message numbers.) #590 AIN #1 #638-#639 AIN #2 #751-#752 AIN #3 #898-#899 AIN #4 #1148-#1149 AIN #5 Total Bytes of all six issues = 222K and worth every electron.
