Your operation (and BPI's) is largely staffed by people who for the most part
had nothing to do with the day to day operations of Alcor back in the good old
days, so I think that for the most part a lot of you are untried. True, you 
have an experienced leader and some of you even have special knowledge of 
certain technical aspects that the laymen don't grasp, but it is yet to be 
seen if you can all hold up under pressure and care for patients and properly
manage funds. You have to also factor in that your service provider euthanized
two Alcor patients and has severely threatened their operation. He was also 
*directly* responsible for what happened to Alcor when Riverside County 
Coroner's deputies raided the lab looking for Dora Kent; a time when he fell 
completely to pieces when he was badly needed to outperform for the lives of 
those that Alcor vowed to care for. But, as history clearly demonstrates, 
nobody then that is now involved in your operation or Mike's had anything 
to do with saving Alcor, and were in fact hiding from authorities! Damage 
control was left to those that could rightly handle it, and here I speak 
of Carlos Mondragon of course and Jerry Leaf. So, let's just hope that for 
the sake of any of your future patients that such an event doesn't reoccur.

Funny request considering that you know all about this. I just plan on 
mailing out my own accounts of cryonics history based on some evidence in 
print which you have already seen, and which has been posted to the CryoNet
along with my own impressions. If there is any sorta demand for it, I can 
post it here? And just to avoid any confusion, I do NOT represent any cryonics
organization and am not a member of any of their respective boards or staff; I
am just a signed up member.

Ever forward,

David
