Subject: Christopher Reeve R.I.P.

Hi:   I thought I'd pass this along in case any other cryonet readers
are interested. As many of us know by now, Christopher Reeve died over
the weekend.  When I first heard the sad news, I sent a message of
condolences to his family via the organization he set up, the
Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.           As far as I know, Mr.
Reeve was one those rare celebrities who didn't attract a lot of bad or
malicious publicity.  I regret I never had the opportunity to meet and
converse with him in person.  If any of us reach the far future,  I hope
that we share our memories of his work , etc. to the next
generations....
         There may be some good news coming out of this tragedy after
all.  There is a measure on the upcoming California ballot to support
and fund stem cell research. I'm optimistic for a surge of interest and
votes for it on November 2nd, Election Day....            
          Best Regards!  John B. Krug
