I looked with great interest at the photograph of cryonicist/fallen NYPD 
officer, John Perry.  Most of the other officers had the hardened and gaunt 
look of someone doing law enforcement work in a very rough locale.  But, 
John had that really big, friendly, and confident smile on his face!  He 
really stood apart from the others.  I wish I had been able to meet this 
man.

I found it fascinating that a libertarian who had done other professions 
earlier in life, would decide to jump into such a tough, yet potentially 
rewarding line of work.  It makes me wonder what the other officers thought 
of him.

I tend to think in another age John Perry would have been an immortalist who 
would have perished trying to save people from a viciously attacked space 
colony.  As much as I hope we will one day not need to call upon people to 
risk their lives, I hope we never run out of brave men and women like John 
Perry.

sincerely,

John
