It was a sweltering day in Toronto that made the swimming pool feel super-good. Bruce and his wife Nicki were excellent as host and hostess, providing a barbecue & lots of hospitality above the call of duty. 19 people attended of which (including the New Yorkers) 7 were suspension members (5 Alcor, 2 ACS). One person is in the sign-up process with Alcor, and another claims to be ready to initiate the process. It was a well-educated group and lots of serious conversation occurred -- mostly about cryonics and life extension. With all that dialogue, a few memes must have been shifted, although none of the "interested persons" declared they had been convinced they should sign-up. This event was unstructured, so there was really no organized attempt to "convince" anyone. It was a time to relax, play, share stories and enjoy each other. Our host expressed interest in repeating the event next summer, so it could become Toronto's answer to the Turkey Roast. -- Ben Best () -- Canada Remote Systems.
