Subject: Article on cryonics

Article in Gainesville Sun 3-11-98

The Gainesville Sun ran an article about my interest in Cryonics last week,
while I was on travel. The article was written by Ray Washington, who
writes for the Sun a column about the University of Florida. It is not
hostile or ridiculing, and focuses on my interest in finding like minded
people in this area. You can find it on their archives in

http://www.sunone.com/news/articles/03-11a1.html

There was an accompanying short article by one of their interns giving some
basic facts on cronics, describing the process of cryopreservation. I did
not find this shorter piece on the web, and I can fax or email it to
anybody interested.

Before I was interviewed by the paper, I had asked for help in assembling
information, and I wanted to take the opportunity and thank everybody that
did. It was about 3 months ago, so you may have wondered. I understand that
I was preempted by more interesting items, like the uproar that broke out
when our president called his boss, the new chancellor of the State
University System `an oreo'.
