X-Message-Number: 24801 From: (John Krug) Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2004 10:15:57 -0700 Subject: Christopher Reeve R.I.P. Hi: I thought I'd pass this along in case any other cryonet readers are interested. As many of us know by now, Christopher Reeve died over the weekend. When I first heard the sad news, I sent a message of condolences to his family via the organization he set up, the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. As far as I know, Mr. Reeve was one those rare celebrities who didn't attract a lot of bad or malicious publicity. I regret I never had the opportunity to meet and converse with him in person. If any of us reach the far future, I hope that we share our memories of his work , etc. to the next generations.... There may be some good news coming out of this tragedy after all. There is a measure on the upcoming California ballot to support and fund stem cell research. I'm optimistic for a surge of interest and votes for it on November 2nd, Election Day.... Best Regards!
