X-Message-Number: 715 Date: 09 Apr 92 11:53:52 EDT From: Michael <> Subject: Alcor move to Arizona I'm really pleased about the dialog that has been generated about the move. The organization will be stronger for it. Austin Tupler told me that a survey of the membership was going to be done. This is a great idea. Will it be by postcard or will it be a mailer in Cryonics? What will be the questions? Wording is always important in these things. Austin said he was concerned about membership loss and allowing the membership to respond via a survey would help us get a sense of their feelings and concerns regarding the move. Will this survey be sent out by the end of April or will it be in the May issue of Cryonics? I just received a copy of the letter Carlos is suggesting for an introduction of Alcor to medical examiners, etc. It is excellent. With all that he has to do, I appreciate how long it must of taken to compose such a carefully worded letter. I'd really be interested in what response if any Alcor receives from Dr. Karnitschnig, the County Coroner in Phoenix and Mr. Drinkwater, Mayor of Scottsdale. This is exciting stuff, gang. We might get it right yet. I'm especially happy about the new attitude of openness to alternative sites for the move. Eric Klien is working with some realtors in Phoenix on the six pages of listings I was sent of "comparable" free standing buildings. He will report back to the board any nuggets he finds. Mr. Tupler's building in Ft. Lauderdale is not zoned "Industrial" so is probably unacceptable. But I think he is to be commended for the $1,000 month for the 10,000 sq. ft. unit he proposed. He would be taking a financial loss at that price. Besides, Dave Pizer's offer of around $600 a month is even better. My love to all on this glorious Spring day in New York. It's another great day to be alive and a cryonicist. My best as always, Mike Paulle Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=715
