X-Message-Number: 489 From att!cup.portal.com!Eric_S_Klien Wed Oct 2 11:06:32 PDT 1991 From: Subject: U.K. facility Date: Wed, 2 Oct 91 11:06:32 PDT "Contrary to what Eric Klien has written, I have in no way "backed off" from my offer of a low interest loan, of up to the amount of the donation, to anyone donating to Alcor." This is not what Carlos told me. When I spoke to Carlos I specifically asked if there were ANY emergencies that currently qualified for Paul's backing. I was told no. Now that Paul has set me straight I have called again and again offered to donate $10K for the UK facility using Paul's loan. Carlos wasn't in, but I expect to hear from him soon and I will set him straight about Paul's offer. Paul seems to be saying that he is willing to loan money for ANY Alcor donation as long as any possible additional financial benefits of the donation go to Alcor, not to anyone involved in making the donation. I am glad to hear that Paul really meant what he said in his letter to Cryonics. Note that it is possible that the other cryonicists that wanted to use Paul's offer to help out the U.K. facility were as sincere as me and were simply confused by Carlos when they called.

He said that the U.K. facility may be fully funded but if it isn't, he'll be glad to accept my donation of $10K from Paul's loan to me. So it looks like the U.K. facility will be saved! Eric Klien [ That's great to hear that the Alcor U.K. facility apparently will be saved! Also, I hope that all the misunderstandings about loans and donations have been straightened out; it's a shame when misunderstandings about a generous offer lead to hard feelings among all concerned. - KQB ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=489
