X-Message-Number: 18864 Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 22:14:26 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: Archives and Archiving Unlike some, I *am* interested in information about the past, both general and personal, good, bad, ugly, pretty, etc. I strongly agree with Thomas Donaldson when he says (#18856): >I was disturbed to hear about the destruction of old cryonics >correspondence by both Bob and Mike Darwin. My reason is simple: >such correspondence will eventually tell us a good deal about >how cryonics successfully came into existence. As historical >material it is irreplaceable. > >I would hope that both men reflect a bit more about what they >are doing... assuming that the destruction hasn't already >occurred. I too hope it hasn't occurred yet! If you are looking for a home for old files, send them to me and I'll try hard to find a place for them, whether with Alcor (there is interest here in preserving the past) or with the Venturist organization (also interest here) or someplace else. >D.C.

I >just might give Mike Perry a call sometime in the less than distant future >about the audios (even though I gave away the Sony reel-to-reel 20 years >ago). We should have these items if they were part of the CSNY files, but it might take a lot of digging through materials that would have to be retrieved from Underground Storage Vaults in Kansas.
