Jim, it is good to hear from you, and I’m very glad to hear you’re still around. Very few are, from those days. Curtis was, well, Curtis! You should see some of the things he said about me! He loved the dramatic, and he both saw and lived life like Shakespeare’s Richard III. I know that it was in no small measure because of that hyperbolic sense of life (which was often transformed into wild actions) that I learned so many of the valuable lessons that I did from him. When I first met him, I was just about equally repulsed/horrified, as I was fascinated. The fascination won out ;-). I was just a hick kid from the Midwest who had grown up in a provincial and god-fearing neighborhood, and I walked into this madhouse, with a picture of Adolf Hitler over the fireplace, and another of FDR decoupaged onto the inside of the toilet bowl lid – and that was just the beginning! I would really like to talk to you about the early days of cryonics in New York. For one thing, I’ve been (unsuccessfully) trying to recover every bit of information about Steven Mandel that it is possible to get. I’ve tried to find additional photos of his cryopreservation, and spent many hours trying to track down Anthony Bregman. May I write to you and get your contact information? –Mike Darwin
