X-Message-Number: 2366 Date: 30 Jul 93 09:36:06 EDT From: Brenda Peters <> Subject: CRYONICS: Comos letter 30 June 1993 >From The Comos Family To All Alcor Members The Comos Family are suspension members of Alcor. We joined Alcor in 1989, after our 21-year-old daughter, Christina, was suspended by Alcor. Christina is more to us than our own lives. We have decided to dedicate our lives and efforts to our loved one, Christina by creating a new, beautiful cryonics building where she can be cared for. At the same time, we will dedicate this effort to all other Alcor and cryonics members who wish to be cared for in this new building. We think that to fight for this noble purpose of extending our lives, is worth all the effort. We have purchased a lovely block of land in a lovely site in Scottsdale (Phoenix) Arizona, out of reach from earthquakes. In September, we will start the process of constructing our beautiful new building at this site. We think everyone will be very proud of this new building. You might ask yourselves, why doesn't the Comos family simply stay at Alcor? Why have we decided to create a new home for Christina and for cryonics? 1. Alcor is in a bad economic state and cannot afford a beautiful, new building designed especially for cryonics. 2. Alcor is located at a bad site where there is a high risk of a major earthquake. 3. The building that Alcor is occupying at the present moment is small and unimpressive and without the most elementary things. 4. At Alcor's present building, the Alcor staff have very little space to do their work. Because of all this and because we wish to build a new home for our daughter, we will be constructing a very special cryonics foundation, which will help to change the image of cryonics so that our efforts can command the prestige and seriousness they deserve. The new building will be a place where cryonics care and cryonics research can be conducted under the best conditions. Members and others will be able to visit a foundation like we all deserve. We would very much like to see Alcor move into our new building after it is completed. There will be no increment in fees for Alcor members in return for the services available at the new building. We will always cooperate 100% with Alcor. We think that together and united we can do great things. We look forward to working out arrangements with Alcor, so that we can provide Alcor's Members with a new home in this beautiful new building in Scottsdale (Phoenix) Arizona. Sincerely, The Comos Family Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2366
