X-Message-Number: 4706 Date: Wed, 02 Aug 95 18:31:17 From: Steve Bridge <> Subject: New Alcor Membership Administrator To CryoNet >From Steve Bridge, Alcor August 2, 1995 New Alcor Membership Administrator As of August 1, 1995, Brian Shock is Alcor's new Membership Administrator -- the person who signs up new members and handles member records. Brian was selected from six applicants. It looks like we were pretty lucky Brian was available, since he has many useful skills that can be helpful in a company where we all have multiple responsibilities. Brian has experience as an editor (Alcor Midwest Newsletter), writer, and programmer. He has a pre-med background, with a lot of chemistry and biology, and he has taken Alcor's Transport Training class, although he hasn't yet worked on a suspension. He also transferred all of *Cryonics Magazine* to ASCII format on disk several years ago, including retyping in every issue in the first few years before Mike Darwin and I got computers. Brian is now available on e-mail at Former Membership Director Derek Ryan is still helping to train Brian for the next couple of weeks. This fall Derek heads back to college to prepare for a career in the medical field. He'll be attending classes in the Phoenix area, so he'll still be available to help with most suspensions. Derek was Membership Administrator for exactly three years. In addition to the many hours of work he put into signing up new members during that time, he earned an EMT Certificate and became an increasingly important part of Alcor's suspension team. We'll miss Derek's enthusiasm and good sense, but we wish him well in his new career pursuit. Derek will be on e-mail at Alcor for a while yet at ; but eventually will have his own private e-mail address. Steve Bridge Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4706
