X-Message-Number: 475 From att!cup.portal.com!Eric_S_Klien Thu Sep 26 20:23:58 PDT 1991 From: Subject: Linda & Fred Date: Thu, 26 Sep 91 20:23:58 PDT +Russ Whitaker called from England saying that he had read about my offer of $10K for the U.K. facility. This impressed me since my minutes won't reach my next door neighbors until tommorrow. E-mail sure is nice. Anyway, he convinced me to call Alcor to find out what they were doing with my offer. I called Alcor and spoke to Alcor's president. In short, it turns out that Paul Wakfer has pretty much backed off his offer to lend money to people who want to give money to Alcor. He will only lend money for Alcor emergencies and currently nothing is classified as an Alcor emergency. On the plus side, he has donated a considerable amount of money towards the U.K. facility and it looks like the facility is going to be saved. Also, the Alcor Boston meeting will be on October 13th, not October 6th. I finally spoke directly to Linda and Fred Chamberlain and the second Sunday in October is much better for them than the first Sunday. When I got their call it sounded like someone was calling from interstellar space, turns out they were using a car phone while driving in New York state. I am not going to have a more exciting meeting than the one with the founders of Alcor. If you are interested in attending this meeting, please let me know!
