### I am sorry to hear Steve died.  I listened to his presentation on cold
pressurized helium persufflation as a means of cryopreserving without toxic
levels of cryoprotectants and I was very excited about the research. Did
his company Arigos get anything done? Their website is still up but only a
placeholder. Last mention I found of any research being done was from 2018
- pig kidneys recovered from -120C.

It's a pity this project didn't get the support it needed. I had high hopes.
