Subject: Neurocryobiology Project Funding Update

Since my previous notice that the project "Cryopreservation of
Hippocampal slices" had been fully approved for joint funding by a
research institute affiliated with a major Southern California
university medical center, the Institute of Neural Cryobiology has
received the following additional donations either deposited or on the
way.

Peter Gouras   - $200 in addition to his prior $200
Forrest Bishop - $500
Gil Schaerer   - $1000
Wendy Tracy    - $500
Tim Freeman    - $5000 in addition to his prior $1000

I wish to thank all these people for their support, but most especially
Tim for his munificense. Until his donation came along (on Friday), I
was getting a bit discouraged at the lack of response now that the
project is ready to begin. There are many in the original pledger group
who should be able to afford the amount Tim has donated more easily than
him, who have not yet donated at all. I don't know the reasons are, but
if there is something that needs to be done differently to entice you to
donate please let me know. I had expected that the immense value of this
project would suffice to generate the relatively small needed funding.

At this time, we have about $42,000 and we still need about $36,000 more
in donations.

All donations should be made out and sent to:
The Institute for Neural Cryobiology
8439 White Oak Ave, Unit 110
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730-3860

Since the Institute for Neural Cryobiology is a US federal and
California Public Benefit Corporation, all donations during 1998 may be
used to reduce your 1998 US federal and California state taxable income.
