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.
