X-Message-Number: 22510 From: Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 11:59:13 -1000 (HST) Subject: Re: CryoNet #22496 - #22503 It has been along time sence I have writtin to (ALL) of you,But I feel very strong about Cryonics loseing so many members?? WHY? The message from Charles Platt and others tells me someting is going very wrong,What? My reasons had to do with the money and stocks ,and a injury that will still need surgery in the near furture. I could no longer afford my Insurnce 690.00 every 3 mounts to stay with Alcor! But make no mistake,I do feel they are a great organization and wish I could have stayed.I had to quit for reasons Charles Platt mentioned or one of his reasons.I have tried to work on a way to join C.I. but now that is in are appears to be in the dugout with the problems they are haveing!! But in my opinton all if not eveything can work out if we who really belive in what we are doing stick together!! There is alot of power in numbers as well as money. We need to help eachother now, not in the furture or we might not have a furture as we belive we will . Alcor and C.I. as well as other organizations need to have a large meeting so we can stop good folks from quiting for reasns mentioned . As for as any difference I think we are smart enought to work any problems beteen organizations if we all really desire to do it !! Now however is the time to act,Just look what happen to John Ritter,I know this person and we are about the same age,It has really made me stop and (THINK) We need to help each other those of us who really belive in what we are trying to accomplish! There is POWER in numbers and money. Thank You for leting me have my say,I hope we assomplish our goals. As for as Michael's belief about vitamins it can't hurt so why not do something good for ourself. Ronald Trumble Aloha is not just a saying, it is a way of living each day.
