X-Message-Number: 17234 Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 10:42:22 -0600 From: Linda Chamberlain <> Subject: Letter of Resignation 9 August 2001 TO: Alcor Board, Advisors and Staff I greatly appreciate the concern shown by the Alcor Board for the financial pressures associated with having recently been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and their demonstration of that concern by offering me both a raise in my salary and a bonus to help with current bills. Nonetheless, stress reduction is a major element of managing this disease. Therefore, in spite of the offer of financial assistance, in order to pursue a less stressful lifestyle, I must resign from the position of Alcor President and CEO, effective September 9, 2001, the date of the Annual Meeting of the Alcor Board of Directors, and election of officers. I strongly recommend Jerry Lemler, MD be elected as the next president and CEO of Alcor. Even though his actual experience with Alcor is less than one year, there is no other candidate, in my opinion, that could come close to matching the value he would represent to Alcor in terms of his dedication to Alcor, motivation, ability to assimilate and learn, and leadership qualities. He is respected by all and a joy to work with. His medical degree and abilities bring to Alcor a level of professionalism that has taken 30 years to attain. If Dr. Lemler becomes the next president of Alcor, I will continue to support and assist him in any way I can. As this resignation is being transmitted to the Board of Directors via email, a hard copy of this letter of resignation has been given to Dr. Lemler as the Vice President of Alcor.
