Subject: remote speakers

Joseph Strout has asked for campus speakers, and Robin Helweg-Larsen is
interested in speaking engagements, as he travels and speaks for a living.
Two comments:

1. Cryonics Institute and Immortalist Society printed materials (and later
videos) are or will be available, in reasonable amounts and with reasonable
notice, to anyone who requests them.

2. We have not yet made use of  available vidphone resources for remote
teleconferencing. I think this should be done, and as soon as I get a chance
I'll look into it in here. It will certainly not be cheap--but should still
be much cheaper than travel. (And more convenient--I hate traveling.)  For
example, if I am at one end and a class or group at the other, and especially
if we have previously sent printed material, we can have live interaction
much more efficiently than by travel. We could probably even have more than
one organization represented, all from home base.
