A still-unidentified woman from the Los Angeles area was frozen by the 
Phoenix, Arizona-based Cryocare Equipment Corporation (not the same as the 
more recent CryoCare) on April 22, 1966. (James Bedford was frozen Jan. 12, 
1967 by the Cryonics Society of California.) I understand this woman had 
first been embalmed and was stored in a mortuary refrigerator for about 2 
months prior to freezing. Relatives had her thawed and buried less than a 
year later.
