I hope that all $33,000 can be raised.  But at the moment raising even
$10,000 (beyond the current pledges) could secure a cryonic suspension, and 
the possiblity of a new life, for James Swayze.  $10,000 dollars seems like 
a lot of money, I know.  But there are said to be approaching a thousand 
people in the world who are signed-up members of cryonics organizations.  
Some are comfortably off, some of them are quite wealthy, and all of them 
are able to meet the costs of membership and insurance.

If each one sends in what he can afford without hardship, James Swayze would 
be able to realize the hope all of us have -- a chance of a new and healthy 
life in an amazing future. We've all seen a lot of disagreement among 
cryonicists on this list.  Let's put it behind us, and pull together this 
once, to help a friend--a man of extraordinary spirit, who needs to have his 
extraordinarily bad luck mitigated.

I just want to say a big "thank you!" to Robert Ettinger for his plea on 
behalf of my friend James Swayze.  I hope everyone will donate to whatever 
extent they can afford.  When I get my tax return I will make my own 
contribution.

Let's do it!! :)

sincerely,
