X-Message-Number: 633 Subject: CRYONICS ACS founder's Mother Suspended From: (Edgar W. Swank) Date: Tue, 04 Feb 92 18:54:19 PST Most of us know Jerry White. He was one of the founders of ACS, a past President, and currently a Governor and the Treasurer. Jerry's mother, age 73, native of San Francisco, died of bronchogenic carcinoma (lung cancer) on Jan 8, 1992. Although no advance arrangements had been made, Jerry, assisted by ACS and Trans-Time, had his mother's brain suspended. Removal and perfusion of the brain was done with cooperation of the local mortician and pathologist. This all took place over the 8th and 9th of January. The brain is now in long-term liquid nitrogen storage at Trans-Time. Jerry is preparing a more detailed description of the suspension, which will appear in the Immortalist and be posted here. -- (Edgar W.
