Subject: Re: Martinot

In the fall of 1990, I spoke to Dr. Martinot and his son on the phone.
That was while I was still in Boulder Colorado.
As far as I recall both speak English, the son a little better than the
father. This was in connection with the Saby case refferred to in a recent
cryonet posting. Summary: Several Us cryonic organizations got phone
calls from a man in France, whose mother just had died. Trans Time asked
me to respond and I spent a large amount of money calling him, the
hospital were his mother was stored, the US embassy in France, various
French authorities. I also tracked down various people interressted
in cryonics in France, and immediately put the son in touch with these.
It was I who put him in touch with Mr. Dolinoff.
This was one time that I regret having skipped the French classes at
school, because most of the people involved spoke neither English nor
German. The man in France had very little money, and the transfer
to the United States was not completed until he much later got or
inherited some more money. This was one of the cases I was promissed
to be reimbursed for but never got reimbursed for in 1990/1991,
and the reason I stopped assisting in such cases (after having
wasted more than $10.000 on four such cases in 1990/1991: The Saby case,
the Hindal case, a German case and an English case.)
Anyway, it is possible that dr. Martinot knew of the case before I did,
I think mr. Saby had written him at some point before contacting various
US cryonic organizations. 
Dr. Martinot can be found by way of ATT's international phone directory
service as I did in 1990, and seems both quite agreeable and friendly.
The story of his wife's freezing and storage is shown every so often on
various TV stations here in Norway.
If anyone tracks him down again, say Hi from me, and ask him to get in
touch.
