Hehe, Jeff, I think you have confabulated the three of us, Gary Tripp (always in
Toronto), John Grigg (once in Alaska now in Arizona) and me James Swayze (still
in Washington state). :) It's not hard to do though since we three are such 
good friends now. You may also be remembering that John was first to ask if 
something could be done for me and Gary was first to pledge an initial donation.
I owe them both and so many many more my extended life, no exageration.


Gary, it's great to hear you were so instrumental with a hands on operation. 
Jeff is so right, you'd be a great addition to any cryonics facility.


John, I got your snail mail letter but something again seems to be not working 
smoothly with your email. The message you sent a second time fearing I had not 
received, I had in fact received and had immediately replied also. Did you not 
get my reply? [Sorry cryonetters for this small intrusion.]
