Before the report went out on Cryonet there were several persons who knew about the situation in advance and had pledged to send some money. It has arrived and we have a total of about $7,500 so far. We are trying to raise at least $32,000. Marce Johnson got interested in cryonics around 1964 which is the year Robert Ettinger's wonderful book THE PROSPECT OF IMMORTALITY became known to the general public. Marce served as a volunteer for many tasks for the early cryonics organizations. She contributed what money she could afford from time to time to help the cryonics movement out. She had meetings in her home in California and served refreshments, support and good company. She did many other things to help the cryonics movment get where it is today. She was unsurpassed in her desire to be frozen at legal death and unsurpassed in her desire to help others. Due to recent unfortunate circumstances, Marce has found herself in a Cryonicist's Worst Nightmare. Racked with Alzheimer's and some unfortunate other circumstances including no life insurance for funding, this lovely person who has helped so many others from the earlier years now needs our help. If Marce is to have the cryonics chance of extended life in the future we must raise $32,000 to pay for her suspension and other minor associated expenses. I am asking every caring cryoncist who reads this, and who can afford it, to send a tax-deductible contribution as soon as possible. Time may be of the essence. Please make out your check or money order to: The Venturists. Mail it to: The Venturists, C/O The Creekside Lodge, 11255 State Route 69, Mayer Arizona. Overseas; Please airmail your check or money order in U.S funds. Thanks in advance to everyone for your concern and support. David Pizer For The Society for Venturism Never miss an email again!
