Hi Brian:

This work on cold rooms and other ways to store lots of patients does sound
very worthwhile. However I do start to feel a bit uneasy about the problem
that unlike a flask of LN2 for neuropatients, you don't have a system which
really works well for small numbers of patients. 

The issue of neuropatients is important, among other reasons, because Dora
Kent still remains frozen because she was a neuropatient, and correspondingly
mobile --- so she could be concealed in someone's closet. And since cryonic-
ists still remain a small part of the population I don't see the possibility
of such action becoming necessary yet again as a possibility that is very
far out at all.

Moreover, the economics of it become easier if single patient modules can
be added for each patient, rather than building a big system which will
remain almost empty for a long time.

Can you devise a system for freezing at higher than LN2 that is at the same
time compact and mobile? ?

			Best and long life,
			   Thomas
