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.
