X-Message-Number: 18164 Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2001 16:26:08 -0800 (PST) From: Joe Morris <> Subject: Questions for Alcor Mgmt I am posting this to cryonet for the edification of other Alcor members: I am an Alcor member, and would like to retire to AZ in order to better my chances for a good cryopreservation. However, I am concerned about the location of my new home and it's effect on my possible standby costs. Specifically, what is Alcor's position on standby fees for people living in Arizona? For people living in Phoenix? For people living in Phoenix metro? What is considered Phoenix metro? Is Payson/Gisela/Prescott Valley considered Phoenix metro area? HOw would the added distance of these towns up on the Mogollon Rim (Prescott, etc.) affect standby quality? Furthermore, I was glad Alcor moved to Phoenix, but upon studying the issue more closely, Arizona may not be that great an area--it is relatively expensive, the summer climate appears to be brutal, and also large metro areas may be subject to terrorism in years to come. I would suggest moving to rural North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, or even the Rust Belt, as these are very cheap areas, and they are not likely to run out of water in years to come, as may very well happen to Phoenix. What are the chances of Alcor moving in the next decade? Thanks for your time. Also, thanks for the weekly updates, as they are a great imnprovement. You guys seem to be doing a great job. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
