Subject: Cryonics:  Reply To Walt H. Parkman

Walt H. Parkman has just posted a message in which he attempts to
explain why Scott Herman has just resigned from Alcor.  Im sorry that
Mr. Herman has resigned from Alcor.  His reasons for doing so are not
very clear in Mr. Parkman's posting, except, it seems, that he appears
to be generally unhappy with the recent change in leadership at Alcor
and specifically unhappy with the actions of several people, including
me.

In Mr. Parkman's message, he warns that "...should Saul Kent succeed in
taking over Alcor, I will be gone like a shot."  I'd like to take this
occasion to reassure Mr. Parkman that I have no intention of "taking
over" Alcor.  I am not a Director or Officer of Alcor, not do I wish to
be.  I have no power over Alcor's leaders, not do I wish to have power
over them.

I've been a cryonics activist since 1964.  In my 28 years in cryonics,
I've been criticized many times, but never before by someone I've never
heard of (Mr. Parkman) on behalf of someone I've never spoken to (Mr.
Herman).  I'm sorry that both Mr. Parkman and Mr. Herman seem to think
that I am, in some way, a "threat" to Alcor and I'd like to discuss the
matter with both of them.  If either Mr. Parkman or Mr. Herman would
like to speak with me, please ask for my phone number at Alcor and give
me a call.  I'd appreciate it.

Saul Kent
