Steve Bridge, a former president of Alcor and a good friend of David
Pizer, came by to visit us last night. Trudy had affectionately
"strangled" Dave when she found out it might not be a definite thing
that Steve would be coming at 7 for dinner! But to our relief a
little past the hour our special guest arrived at the doors of the main lodge building.
He warmly greeted everyone and was quite taken by the design of
the place. It was good to see old friends(David had been his vice
president) reunited. The sun had set by this time, but still Dave
and I gave him a tour of the main lodge and the cabins.
I took a photo of the two of them while they were in the cryonics
library. A big smile crossed Steve's face when Dave showed him
a very early cryonics booklet which Steve had authored many years
ago. When Steve asked if he should send his extra cryonics materials
here to add to the library, Dave said "by all means please do!"
And that applies to the rest of you out there in cyberspace, too.
We ate in the dining room a delicious italian dinner Trudy and her
sister had prepared. While eating Steve showed us pictures of his
two cute young daughters. Other subjects discussed were the prodigious
amounts of spaghetti I'm able to eat! lol
After dinner we sat down in the lodge great room and I got to listen
to Steve and David talk about the past and present of cryonics.
As they went down memory lane I could tell they were proud of the
things they had accomplished.
The next morning I gave Steve a tour of the stables. He asked me
if the words on the side "bring your horse" actually lit up at night!
I assured him we were not going for the gaudy effect. Trudy and
Lana have just finished varnishing the wood and it truly is a sight to behold.
As we walked through the creekbed it gave us the opportunity to
appreciate the natural beauty of this heavily wooded area. Steve
and I continued to be very absorbed in the various things of interest to us.
It was a real pleasure to have Steve visit us. I had never met the
man before, but had read many of his articles in Cryonics magazine,
and had seen him interviewed for various t.v. shows. I found him
to be a real gentleman and very informative. I hope Steve will
call on us again sometime soon.
best wishes,
John
