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.
