X-Message-Number: 7041 Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 03:08:55 -0400 From: Derek Strong <> Subject: Jumping Back In Greetings, fellow cryonicists. If you don't immediately recognize my name (Derek Strong), it is probably because you used to know me as Derek Ryan (or never knew me at all). I have officially changed my name, and letting my many CryoNet friends and acquaintances (current and future) know about this is one of the purposes of this brief message. My other purposes are (in no particular order): 1) To simply say "hello" to all of you again after a long break from this forum, and to introduce myself to those of you whom I have not yet met. (I am glad to see so many new faces. . . er, voices.) 2) To advertise my new email address: <>. My old address () will still work, but I intend to use this new address for all of my email from now, since I can access it at home. Please use it instead of the Alcor address if you intend for your message to reach me in a reasonable time frame. 3) To express my sincere optimism about the recently increased activity level in the cryonics community (especially in the area of research). Never has there been a better time to be involved. I hope that those of you not fortunate enough (or UNfortunate enough -- depending on your perspective) to get to see all of this from the "inside" of your organizations are expecting great things in the near future. The opportunities are many, and the commitment among those who care has never been higher. I for one am glad to see it. Cheers!
