Alcor v. Larry Johnson

Alcor is continuing its efforts to enforce a confidentiality agreement executed by Mr. Johnson, as well as a judgment entered against Mr. Johnson by a Maricopa County, Arizona judge. A motion for injunctive relief is still pending in the New York Supreme Court. A decision is expected to be rendered on December 11, 2009. Additionally, Alcor filed through counsel in Maricopa County, Arizona a motion to hold Larry Johnson in contempt of court for violating the previously entered judgment. That matter is also scheduled to be heard on December 11, 2009. Most recently, Alcor retained counsel in Las Vegas, Nevada to domesticate the Arizona judgment preventing Mr. Johnson from continuing his efforts to violate the many, signed confidentiality agreements and Arizona court order. This effort was necessary because Mr. Johnson presently resides in Nevada. Alcor is hopeful the various courts will understand that Mr. Johnson breached not just the agreements he signed, but also the confidence he obtained under false pretenses. With these continued legal efforts, Alcor simply desires that Mr. Johnson adhere to his prior agreements, abide by court orders and stop the wrongful dissemination of false information about Alcor for the purpose of his own financial gain.

Southern California Transport Team Training & CryoFeast

Saturday and Sunday, December 12 - 13, 2009
This training is free and open to members of any cryonics organization, or anyone with a strong interest in cryonics who would like to join the Southern California Transport Team. Cryopreservations are helped by having local area cryonicists volunteering and working together. Attending a hands-on training session gives you the tools and knowledge on what to do and how to do it. During training you will get hands on experience with standby stabilization equipment.
Aaron Drake, Alcor Transport Coordinator will be instructing the training session.

Whether or not you are interested in volunteering for this cryonicist community, this is an excellent time to learn more about the process of cryopreservation. You will also learn about the stand-by process, what team members do, and how optimal cryopreservation is aided by local community volunteers.

Anyone interested in being on the Southern California Transport Team as a team member should contact: Michael Geisen at mgeisen@gmail.com.
