Trygve's response: Maybe Tuff shed would like to come up with a larger shed? We do have space for additional sheds as well. We do have space for the electrical freezer that the Martinots are in now. either in a larger shed or in an additional shed, or inside the main concrete building. Maybe the whole freezer could be shipped as one unit? Alternatingly we could put in a four person liquid nitrogen dewar in the two story section on the south side of the main concrete building, But the question is who is paying for all this? My coprate sponsors in Colorado? Or the Martinot family/son? Or some short of public fund raiser? The Martinots are stored at minus 50 degrees Celcius, moving them to dry ice would actually be an improvement. Moving them and my grandfather to liquid nitrogen would be best, but that would require buying a liquid nitrogen storage dewar as well as a liquid nnitrogen storage tank and mounting the latter on top of a small truck so that liquid nitrogen could be picked up in Denver and refilled at the site. 18 wheele liquid nitrogen trucks can make it up there bareley, in the Summer, but probably doesn't want to, so we would have to transport liquid nitrogen in smaller standard gas "bottles" or with a smaller dewar mounted on a truck. sincerely, Trygve Bauge Anyone else in cryonic circles that would be willing to assist in rescuing the Martinots? When I assisted in the Saby case I spoke to Mr Martinot and his son on the phone about 12 years ago. Both seemed both friendly and nice. But I still have to get hold of the journalist that contacted me, and find out what the Major of Nederland has in mind, and find out what my representative at the sight Bo Shaffer is willing to do. And of course it is also a question of what Martinot's son want's done and can afford. Maybe the French authorities will back off, when they see that they can't succeed in getting the bodies cremated after all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Good, Owen" <> To: <>; <>; <> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 7:11 PM Subject: French Couple/Cryogenics > Mr. Bauge: > > I am a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News of Denver.
