Interesting, that someone of such background and involvement should think 
that cryonics in its current state with only a few hundred supporters, can 
survive and prosper without the participation and total cooperation of 
everyone interested, including those who for whatever reason may not have 
hundreds or millions of dollars to throw at it.

Also in that (golden) vein, it will be interesting to see who the Alcor 
Board has picked as its next President.  Will they have found someone to 
steer a straight and steady course into the future, or will they have caved 
in to the pressures from certain wealthied influences, and thereby add 
further dysfunction to an already unstable organization?

Time will tell (I'm sure the announcement will be coming sometime soon).
