I also wish to thank all that have brought the 1/3 progress to where it is despite the many obstacles and unforeseen setbacks. I am not disappointed in the least that charitable efforts went different directions after 9/11. Our country comes first. Without the United States and the freedom we enjoy to pursue what some would think outlandish even outrageous pursuits, well all our lofty goals and hopes would have little chance of ever in our time coming true. I also want to thank Charles Platt and Rick Potvin for their kindness toward me even though we've not seen exactly eye to eye in some discussions. I feel humbled gentlemen. All in all I am hopeful and willing to do my PR part when the time comes and I particularly look forward to showing the world that the Cryonics Community is a family that abhors death and loves and clings to life and wishes to include all humanity in perpetual life.
