Subject: CRYONICS Campbell/Bauge

We have heard that Al Campbell has been reinterred, reportedly a result of
family pressure, reportedly in turn a result of the publicizing of the names
by Trygve Bauge.  

Personally--not speaking for any organizaitons--I still think we should try
to help Trygve in his legal battles, but we should also urge his friends to
warn him against breaches of confidentiality and against any imprudent or
eccentric actions or statements that might reflect badly on cryonics.

I realize this is a sensitive area. Some other people in cryonics (and of
course in other organizations and movements) have habits of speech or living
or dress or politics or whatever that are not widely esteemed, and that might
tend to inspire negative reactions in large segments of the public. We cannot
readily censor or discipline them; but perhaps we can at least suggest that
they try to keep in mind the realities of public relations.
