X-Message-Number: 17598 Subject: John W. Perry From: "Perry E. Metzger" <> Date: 17 Sep 2001 12:42:00 -0400 It hasn't appeared here, so I thought I'd mention that John W. Perry is missing, and I presume dead, in the World Trade Center terrorist attack. I don't know if anyone outside of the New York crowd remembers him particularly well, but I do. When John became a police officer, I thought it was perhaps an odd choice for a libertarian and cryonicist, not to mention an attorney. His was not the usual sort of background for a policeman. I never dreamed that, as a department lawyer who spent most of his time behind a desk, he would one day give his life saving people. I know no details of what brought him to the Trade Center last Tuesday -- I know only that, since his stint working as a police officer in Kosovo had fallen through, he'd been working at least temporarily on patrol in the Bronx, even further away than he usually was from the financial district. I had not even thought to check up on him. Perry Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17598
