X-Message-Number: 1382 Date: 01 Dec 92 06:00:50 EST From: Saul Kent <> 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.
