X-Message-Number: 9318 Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 13:58:39 -0500 From: Rafi Haftka <> Subject: Article on cryonics Article in Gainesville Sun 3-11-98 The Gainesville Sun ran an article about my interest in Cryonics last week, while I was on travel. The article was written by Ray Washington, who writes for the Sun a column about the University of Florida. It is not hostile or ridiculing, and focuses on my interest in finding like minded people in this area. You can find it on their archives in http://www.sunone.com/news/articles/03-11a1.html There was an accompanying short article by one of their interns giving some basic facts on cronics, describing the process of cryopreservation. I did not find this shorter piece on the web, and I can fax or email it to anybody interested. Before I was interviewed by the paper, I had asked for help in assembling information, and I wanted to take the opportunity and thank everybody that did. It was about 3 months ago, so you may have wondered. I understand that I was preempted by more interesting items, like the uproar that broke out when our president called his boss, the new chancellor of the State University System `an oreo'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raphael(Rafi) T.
