Subject: Alcor:  Joe Waynick Gone & Former Employee Arrested

I'm wondering what this is all about, and if it is true, why an Alcor 
official did not post it here.  I found it in my usual meanderings on the 
net.  Apparently it is an email to Alcor members.  Here is an excerpt:

"Alcor Life Extension Foundation
September 02, 2005

Members:
The Board of Directors felt it was important to personally inform all Alcor 
members of two recent events.

First, Alcor's President and CEO, Joe Waynick, has decided to leave Alcor 
and pursue other interests. We received his resignation effective August 
28, 2005. Joe has been President and CEO for nearly two years. He will 
continue to be an Alcor member. We wish Joe the best in going forward.

Steve Van Sickle will temporarily assume the role and responsibilities of 
day-to-day operations of Alcor, acting as our Executive Director. Steve has 
a long history with Alcor, having become a member in 1992. Early in his 
membership, he assisted in engineering Alcor's crackphone and Air 
Transportable Perfusion (ATP) systems. In 1999, Steve was elected as a 
Member of the Board of Directors; and in February 2005, he joined Alcor's 
staff as the Technical Development Leader. We believe Steve is an excellent 
choice to lead Alcor's staff during this transition.

The Board has commenced its search for a new President and CEO. A search 
committee, to be headed by Board Chairman, Dr. Michael Riskin, will be 
formed, and inquiries will be made across the country and around the world 
for qualified candidates. This is an opportune time to further Alcor's 
goals. Accordingly, the Board's search committee will take the necessary 
time to identify and retain the sort of leader who can take us to the next 
level.

Second, on another matter, we have learned that a substantial sum of money 
is missing from Alcor. We suspected that a former employee misappropriated 
approximately $180,000. Last week, the police arrested former Alcor 
bookkeeper, Tim Reeves. While Mr. Reeves has yet to be tried on these 
charges and is innocent until proven guilty, the police have informed us 
that he has confessed to most of the theft. We are cooperating with the 
Scottsdale prosecutor assigned to this matter, and we will keep you 
informed as the case progresses. We are also working with the police and a 
private investigator to recover the funds."

It is unclear from what I read, as to who the actual author of this 
material is.
