Well said, ja.  There are many of us who would volunteer to help Alcor at
local events, even some of us who are not yet personally signed up.  We know
that head freezing is not a high bucks line of business, and that Alcor
needs to watch its pennies.  We get that.  We encourage that.  Thrift is
good.  We wouldn't sign up for any cryopreservation company if we saw
useless extravagance.  We want to help.  It wouldn't even cost much for
Alcor or a volunteer to put together a training powerpoint file, to help
volunteers to do the basics, dress nicely, act sanely, put a good face on
what is really a difficult thing in every circumstance: dealing with death
and dying.  

On this last point, do let me assure you as one who is dealing rapidly
declining health in (if we include in-laws and steps) all six parents.  So
far I have been unsuccessful in selling the cryonics notion in all cases.  I
am 0 for 6 so far, even if we ignore grandparents, none of whom would have
anything to do with cryonics.

We have smart, socially redeemable volunteers right here.  Use us!
