Subject: Personnel Changes at CryoCare

On Sunday, January 18, a special meeting of the directors of CryoCare
accepted the resignation of Brian Wowk, who had served as the President of
CryoCare since June 1st, 1995. Brian is, I think, the only president of
any cryonics organization who has ever succeeded in holding that title for
more than two years without becoming imbroiled in any form of conflict or
controversy. This comment may sound flippant, but in fact it is a
testimonial to Brian's great decency, stability, and fairness. Bearing in
mind that he also has a Ph.D. in medical physics, it's hard to imagine a
better person to run a cryonics organization. Still, I quite understand
his desire to spend more time on research now that he has relocated in
California and has accepted a position at the new lab owned by 21st
Century Medicine. 

I have been elected to take Brian's place as President of CryoCare, and I
have also joined the board of directors. Brian has agreed to serve as
Vice-President. Ben Best remains our Secretary, and Kevin Brown continues
as Treasurer. 

Carlotta Pengelley has resigned from her position as Member Services 
Administrator, due to the pressure of family obligations. We're sorry to 
lose Carlotta in this role, because she brought such a human touch to a 
difficult job. She has told us, however, that she remains available to 
help out on an informal basis.
